Lumion explicitly state that macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS are not supported. Hardware Requirements: Lumion requires a high-end dedicated GPU and specific Windows drivers to function. Linux drivers for high-end NVIDIA or AMD cards exist, but the software layer connecting Lumion to that hardware is built for Windows. Can you "force" it to work? If you are determined to use Linux as your primary OS but need Lumion, here are the three common (though imperfect) workarounds: Dual Booting (Recommended): This is the only way to get 100% performance. You keep a small Windows partition specifically for Lumion and other AEC software (like Revit or Rhino) and use Linux for everything else. GPU Passthrough (Advanced): Using a Virtual Machine (KVM/QEMU) with a dedicated secondary GPU passed directly to a Windows guest OS. This allows Lumion to run at near-native speeds inside Linux, but it requires two graphics cards and complex technical setup. WINE / Proton: Currently, Lumion does
After installation, run Lumion using:
