Some people have had success using Linux, though not necessarily Ubuntu, running the 32 bit version of DS under particular versions of WINE.
Short answer Yes...
But it isn't as simple as that. One of the easier ways is to use PlayOnLInux...that should get WINE installed and make the install process fairly painless. But you are going to be limited to the 32 bit version...and Ubuntu makes it harder to install the video drivers supplied by the manufacturers, than some other distros. But you will need them for best results.
It's getting IRAY working that is my stumbling block for ditching Windows.
Maybe I will go a lot off-topic... But why you want to run DAZ on Ubuntu?
Because I have Ubuntu on my computer and not sure how to put Windows back on it
I got the answer which is basically no so I got Windows back on the computer.
Why do you want to run DAZ on Windows (substiture Mac, if you're using that)?
Perhaps because it's you main OS, is the answer.
Perhaps there is an unknown reason windows does not want to work on the computer
I've gotten both 32 and 64bit running in linux[with wine / playonlinux], with GoZ, iray, and the cms working. But it goes extremely slow and crashes ALL THE TIME. Can They please make a Linux release of this? a Mac version already exists right? Seems like it could be done in a day and a half, a month tops. Maybe just make it open source. it's free anyway right?
Yes, it could be done, but it is highly unlikely to be so. If I could get DAZ and Adobe CC running on Linux, I'd build a better rig and dump my aging iMac.
Wow this is an old thread. No wonder I forgot about it.
I am sending my windows machine into HP to be looked at but I am trying to get my Ubuntu machine back running until my HP machine comes back to me.
Edit: is unetbootin the best way to create a bootable ubuntu usb drive?
I tend to use Rufus - https://rufus.akeo.ie/
Trying to download the Ubuntu iso, but it seems that my internet connection is kinda slow for that.
I've tried various flavors of Linux out many times over the years (one of my grown sons is obsessed with it and works for an open source company in Silicon Valley.) The drivers are usually the stickler. Most aren't open source, so they have to be reverse engineered to work on Linux. That's particularly true of anything having to do with imaging. Linux is great for basic computer use, but when you get into anything highly specialized, you do have to jump through quite a few hoops to get things working, and there's no guarantee they will work. I really do like Ubuntu, but the limitations keep me on Windows.
Is there any advantage to having a windows box and an Ubuntu box?
You know you can dual boot on one system right. You can also just partition a drive to have everything on one drive. Daz studio just runs better in windows 7 pro 64bit. I like linux too but to me it is just a toy until I can run all the production software I use on it.
just instal lutris , core fonts pack and ... then regular install daz3D manager
