Roon client on Zorin OS (Ubuntu base)

Hi, I have switched from Windows OS to Linux (Zorin OS), that is why I am seeking a nature Linux app for Roon Desktop. Unfortunately the “Wine” workaround is not stable and I have encountered some resolution issues (too small GUI on my Laptop with Zorin OS). Hope Roon will consider growing Linux users to develop Roon Desktop for Linux OS.

Kind regards,
Ernesto

This has nothing to do with Linux versus Windows (Wine). I have not encountered anything unstable with running the Windows version in Wine either. Maybe, if you would explain your issue, someone could point you in the right direction to resolve your instability.

I have moved your post plus replies to Roon Software Discussion > Linux, so the community may assist you.

Since Zorin uses an Ubuntu base, including their sources, you can install Roon on Wine correctly using the following instructions.

You shouldn’t need to change the scaling on a laptop with a 1080p screen. However, if you have a UHD display, you’ll need to manually change the scaling when installing. Please confirm the screen resolution, so I may offer assistance.
