Generally, TheoTown should run fine on your linux installation provided you have 64-bit Java installed and the correct video drivers.

its not the case, you must also have i386 packages installed

As a Linux user myself (Fedora's GNOME spin to be more exact) this is not something I have noticed - but I am also someone that leans hardcore to everything JVM so I am not very intelligible in bugs that arise from a default configuration.

Regardless DO NOT install java from your distro. This installs the stock OpenJDK binaries that are known to have many bugs. Instead I recommend to download Java from Adoptium, Azul or other vendors (e.g. Jetbrains's Jetbrains Runtime or Amazon's Correto).

Also take your hands off of Wine - not needed for Theotown thanks to Java (Warning: Theotown will use your system installation of Java. It needs to be Java 8 or higher. If needed you can swap the version of java with "sudo alternatives --configure java"). Since you need to go through Steam (unless you are willing to do some dark magic) Wine won't do much since they use Proton, a fork of Wine.

I did not even install java to begin with or did I say that i have installed it, that said I386 packages are enough to run the game
