Can I use Medal on Linux with Wine?
Asked by

I'm really considering switching to Linux Mint or something similar for my video editing and gaming needs. I love using Medal for recording, but I know it doesn't support Linux yet. Is there any chance I can get Medal to work on Linux using Wine?

I can confirm that while Medal does run on Wine, itโs not the best experience right now. I encountered problems with game detection, especially for titles that donโt have a native Linux version. For straightforward recording, Steamโs built-in tools might serve you better if youโre making the transition!

Honestly, it's a bit hit or miss with Medal running on Linux via Wine. Many users have had mixed results, and it doesnโt seem like itโs fully functional yet. You might want to look into alternatives like OBS Studio or GPU Screen Recorder if you're just looking for recording options, as they work well on Linux.

I gave it a shot! Medal installed fine on my Linux setup, but I hit a snagโwhile I could set everything up, it wouldn't detect my game (Hollow Knight) to record. It showed some weird behavior like a black splash screen initially. I tried running it with Steam under Proton, but it still couldnโt detect the games I wanted to record. Iโd still recommend checking out Steam's native recording featuresโit's a solid alternative if youโre facing issues with Medal.
