Lutris is a gaming client for Linux. It uses optimized wine builds and allows for a graphical installation of games. For those that are unable to use the method above, or are weary on the process may find this solution more viable.

The first thing you need to do is to head over to the [https://lutris.net website]. Setting up an account is free, and allows you to manage your client from multiple Linux machines if you plan on using more than one. Head over to the '''GAMES''' section and use the filter to EVE Online. Clicking on the game info will provide three options; STEAM (WINDOWS), WINE and LINUX which is the CCP wrapper version. It is important to note that you do not need to install the Steam version if you are using your steam account, as the EVE Launcher now has steam integration built in. For example, you can have Steam installed on Ubuntu 18.x and download the WINE version, and still be able to use your steam account to play the game.

Pressing install will have the EVE module show up in your Lutris client UI. From this point click on "EVE Online" and press the play button. You may configure options for the game, runner or system. at of February 2019, Wine Version staging-3.9-x86_64 (default) is sufficient for 64bit Ubuntu Systems on the latest release. Make sure '''Run Client with Logging''' is enabled, and enjoy EVE Online on your Linux system.
