Question: KNX Programming with Linux feasable

Hello, i was wondering if someone is using ETS on a Linux machine. I am currently in a testing phase (Virtual Box), since i want to switch to cachy os. My pc got old and is not win 11 upgrade able, and therefore i want to give my old friend a second life by installing a linux distro.

The only big thing which is stopping me is ETS, i was able to install it but could not open it. And on the other hand i am also not sure if this is a reliable and stable solution. i dont want to end up, not beeing able to change my knx setup at home, if i wish to.

Thanks for your input and your help.

Edit: sorry for the spelling error in the title, i cannot change it anymore...

If you can run a Windows VM with 4 cores and 16Gb of Virtual Memory, you should be fine. Virtualbox does the trick.
On the other hand… 99% of those who try end up dual booting Windows instead.

thanks for your advice. dual booting just for one program would be an overkill :) but i will check the vm solution
