 If you haven't done so already, download the game from https://www.lfs.net, then open a terminal and execute the setup with wine:
-   wine LFS_S3_xx_setup.exe
+   wine /path/to/file/LFS_S3_xx_setup.exe, (eg. ~/Downloads/LFS_S3_xx_setup.exe)  # Replace "xx" with correct version, eg. "7G". #
 If wine fails to execute with the error ''wine: could not load kernel32.dll'', simply delete the configuration folder in ~/.wine and try again. This error is especially likely to occur on Ubuntu, since we added 32-bit support manually.

 If your GPU supports Vulkan, you should enable '''dxvk''' (Vulkan renderer for DirectX) for better performance (in my case, it also prevented crashes from full grids of cars, and properly showed my GPU in the game's options).
