Linux Optimizations for X-Plane

For optimal X-Plane performance on Linux, it's important to configure the operating system accordingly. In this section, you'll find guides for various optimization areas.

Optimizations Overview

We will optimize the following areas:

  • Kernel: Adjustment or switching to a more performant kernel like Liquorix
  • Graphics Drivers: Installation and configuration of optimal Nvidia drivers

Extensions Overview

We will install the following extensions:

  • Wine: Configuration for Windows-based add-ons and tools
  • Virtualization: Setting up KVM for optional Windows environments
  • Containers: Docker for isolated development and testing environments

Goal

These optimizations and extensions offer the following benefits:

  • Better resource allocation for X-Plane
  • Reduced system latency
  • Optimized graphics drivers for higher FPS
  • Compatibility with Windows plugins and tools
  • Stable operating environment

The individual guides can be implemented independently of each other, depending on your specific requirements and hardware configuration.
