Kind of works, but causes system lockups
Some lines appear in the UI
Alt+Tab worked inconsistently and moving the window without changing the primary monitor in settings causes the window to move back to the display monitor. Attempting to change this can result in a system lockup.
Frequent, consistent and seemingly unavoidable system lockups
The game runs in its own window which has a black background, meaning it does not properly overlay over your desktop as intended. You could likely run the game in a virtual desktop configured via winecfg
, but I didn't test that
- The "game" works, in that you can have a window and attempt to configure some settings. Workshop content also installs and can be used fine. The UI is a little slow and has some black lines through it but it's really a non-issue as you can see everything fine. The models dance on a black background, and I'm not sure if there's a way to fix this.
- The main issue is the system lockups, which made it difficult to test and explore to see what can/can't be fixed. After running the program for between 30secs to a few minutes at most, it'll cause my system to freeze and I need to press the reboot button.
- Overall, I cannot recommend because of the lockups. If these were fixed, though it doesn't work exactly as it would on Windows, I could still recommend to Linux users with an extra monitor to spare (which you probably have anyway for this type of game).

You can make anime girls and John Wick dance. What's not to love?
The dancer(s) dance on a black background instead of your desktop.
The splash screen stays on top of DesktopMMD when running until you select the main window.
The mouse cursor is sometimes stuck in the bounds of the main window until you alt-tab.
Black lines go through some parts of the UI and the UI is laggy.
