It's possible to get Lix via Flatpak.

I recommend a native install over using Flatpak. That is: On Windows, you should download my releases of Lix for 64-bit Windows. On Linux, you should install Lix via your normal package manager, or build it from source yourself. Flatpak Lix works on all operating systems, but in late 2025, Flatpak Lix is outdated: It's only Lix 0.10.30 instead of the current Lix 0.10.32. Reason: On Github, the D toolchain for Flatpak is outdated, the builds for Flatpak happen with a 4-year-old D compiler, which is too old.

But! If you use Flatpak, you should know where your Lix directories are. Or, if somebody else uses Flatpak, I should know where he has his directories, for helping and troubleshooting.

Flatpak on Linux:
ReadOnly: ~/.local/share/flatpak/app/com.lixgame.Lix/x86_64/stable/
someHexChecksum/files/share/lix/levels/
Writeable: ~/.var/app/com.lixgame.Lix/data/lix/replays/

Flatpak on Windows:
I don't know, nobody has used it there yet.
