It's possible, but the best way to do so is going to depend on your distro. If you're using a more mainstream distro like Ubuntu or Fedora, grab one of the Java 17 (or 20…shouldn't matter) JRE JFX packages from Azul that match your distro:Is there any way to play this game on linux? chmod and wine don't seem to work :/ but then again i dont know much about linux so i might be screwing it up.

You'll want to download the RPM if you're using a Red Hat based distro (e.g. Fedora or CentOS) or the DEB package if you're using a Debian-based distro (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.). I haven't used a mainstream distro in a while (I use Arch btw…and, uh, sometimes Void) but I think Fedora and Ubuntu let you install packages by just double-clicking on them. Just make sure you remove all other Java (OpenJDK, jre-*, etc) packages first, just to make sure Azul is automatically treated as the default.
LT has always had a JavaFX dependency, so you were most likely either using Oracle JRE (which includes JavaFX) or an OpenJDK distribution that was bundled with OpenJFX. Most OpenJDK distributions don't include it.I last played about a year ago, and then it only required jre. No additional installs, as long as I remember
If you built it from source, Maven would have pulled down the appropriate packages for you.
