This might be a stretch but it’s still a game. Does anyone know of a bike trainer program (hopefully at least half decent) that runs natively on Linux? I’ve tried getting Zwift to work through Lutris but have been unsuccessful.

    I have been struggling with this too. solution has been running it on my phone for now and looking into dedicated hardware. I’ve come across a few other options (MyWoosh) recently but nothing native to linux.

    I’ve been zwifting exclusively on Linux for a few years now with this: https://github.com/netbrain/zwift

    It’s pretty distro agnostic. I’m using it with Podman on RHEL 9.

    Still requires you to use the companion app on your phone for your Bluetooth connections, but it beats keeping a Windows machine around. Good luck!

      Thanks. The Companion app never seemed to work on my sandboxed Google Play profile on GrapheneOS however. I’ve since found Golden Cheetah which is a native Linux program and totally free. Zwift raising their price was the final straw for me to move on and I’m grateful for it.

      GC works perfectly on Linux Mint with my Garmin USB ANT+ dongle, Garmin heart rate strap, and retains all the functionality with my Zwift Hub trainer if anyone is curious.
