Wine (or WINE) is a program originally written for Linux systems to provide an execution layer of the more common Windows APIs in order to run Windows programs without modification. It can be used to play Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Games intended for Windows on Linux, BSD, and MacOS X, but results may vary widely.
Although Wine is open source, there are also commercial versions that support more applications/games.[1] These also provide a graphical user interface for setup etc.
Additionally, Proton, a fork of Wine created by Valve, can be used to run games distributed through Steam that do not natively support Linux.

Tomb Raider Games Playable With Wine
As Wine is under constant development this Wiki will not provide a list of playable games that is likely to change a lot. Instead one should look up specific games on the projects homepage.[2]
As a rule of thumb, older games like the Classic Tomb Raider games are more likely to work. As the Level Editor ueses a classic engine as well, most Custom Levels work fine with Wine.
Newer games on the other hand may still sometimes exhibit specific problems with newer versions of DirectX like flickering or missing objects, although these problems are becoming rarer. These games are more likely to work correctly using Proton.

Proton
Proton is a version of Wine that is maintained by Valve, the parent company of Steam. Many games that were written for Windows can be played on Linux or Mac OS using the Steam Client and Proton as a compatibility layer. The newest example is Tomb Raider I-III Remastered that works flawlessly on Linux.
Tomb Raider Games Supported by Steam/Proton
All Tomb Raider Games are supported by Proton, mostly with the two highest compatibility ratings, Gold and Platinum. This means these games play almost or just as good as under Windows.[3]
- All Classic Games:
- The three LAU games:
- The Reboot Trilogy is supported natively on Linux, although the Windows versions can apparently be used too.
Lara Croft Games Supported by Steam/Proton
