Ok, I assume that Linux version of Rhino is at the very least VERY unlikely. But as I’m getting increasingly fed up with Windows has anyone got successes running Rhino via Wine for example ?

I’m not aware of anyone successfully running Windows under Wine. It would not be a supported platform, much like Windows virtualization under OS X, so you would be on your own.

Well , as soon as I get some free time I’ll give it a shot - I fondly remember a video of Rhino 4 running under Wine (but can’t remember whether it was all candy dandy) so I hope it would be doable with Rhino 5 . Fingers crossed - Windows started to annoy me as hell (terrible net manager, options scattered over tons of submenus and windows, stupid “wizards” and poor uninstallers leaving tons of junk in registry which makes Windows unstable over time - arghhhh… a real pain for someone who moves a lot with his laptop and whose part of the job includes looking for better workflows and testing new software… whooopsss… sorry , had to vent :smiley: ) .

I wish there was Rhino for Linux, too.

Sorry, this announcement doesn’t change much with respect to Rhino on Linux.

Any chance I can run Rhino on my iPhone? That would allow me to do 3D modelling when I am standing in line at the post office or grocery store. Seriously, I am just kidding.

Just curious of how many Linux users are here. Count me in too.

Greetings Folks, Linux Mint 17.3 with PlayOnLinux front-end for Wine and DotNet installed. RH3 RH4 and RH5 all install. RH5 is the only one that will run - and it crashes Wine often. Encouraging, but not useful for daily work quite yet. I am looking forward to trying RH2 and RH6 - whenever I get those versions available to me.

Still wish I could run Rhino on Linux.

me too . @denbutler : you’re already way ahead of what I achieved - I couldn’t get past install. Plz, pass the info if you figure it out. In the beggining of 2016 I installed Windows 10 on my laptop and immediately realized 2 things: first , damn, I missed Rhino. Secondly - damn , I miss my linux machine (super user friendly gui of choice and in a little bit over a year I haven’t had a single system crash on it, while I get usually 1-2 bluescreens on W10 when doing some intensive tasks).

Maybe there is a chance… Microsoft has open-sourced .NET
