Hi there. Since I removed my Reddit account, I'm really happy to find a new home here. Hopefully beginner questions are allowed here.

Currently I'm trying to reliable get SE to work on Manjaro Linux. But this seems to be not an easy task. Currently it's the only game, I have tried, which tends to crash on Linux.

I've never attempted this before, so I'm not sure how helpful I'll be, but I did find the following resource that seems to insist it is feasible: https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/space-engineers-linux/

Additionally, this Q&A looks to cover a more recent resource that could be helpful, to which the Github is located here: https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks

I will say the game runs fairly well on Windows, but if you play with a lot of mods, it regularly encounters problems. Historically speaking, I re-install and/or fix my SE installation many times a year. So if it makes you feel better, encountering problems while attempting to run the game is a fairly regular experience to some degree.

I have not much mods enabled. Only colored icons, from time to time "build info" when I have to check air leaks and some scripts like PAM and AutoLCD. The rest is Vanilla+DLC's. I have hoped that I can remove PAM and can use Automatons for the same task, but this isn't capable of automatically mining as of yet

If you like PAM, you may also enjoy taking a look at SCAM! It has a crazy cool, fully visual and interactive, in-game interface. You can control multiple drones with it to mine out asteroids.
