Titan Poker Linux

Titan Poker is one of the most popular online poker rooms, and Linux is becoming an increasingly popular operating system for many.

As a result, lots of poker-playing Linux users are asking the question:

Can you run TitanPoker on Linux?

Thankfully, yes. It is perfectly possible to run Titan Poker on Linux.

In fact, there are actually two options available to you when it comes to Linux Titan Poker.

  1. Play at Titan Poker within your browser using the Titan Poker flash version.
  2. Run the downloadable client on Linux using WINE.

Both of these methods for running TitanPoker on a Linux OS have their pros and cons. I'll outline them below to help you choose the option best suited to your needs.

1) Titan Poker flash for Linux.

Try out the instant play flash version of the Titan Poker room for yourself.

On the homepage of the Titan Poker website you can clearly see a link to the "instant play" flash version of the Titan Poker room. This allows you to play at Titan within your web browser without having to download and install any .exe that are not compatible with Linux operating systems.

This flash alternative for playing at Titan Poker on LInux works for all the major Linux distributions, including:

  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • Mandriva
  • Fedora
  • ...and more.

The flash version was mainly developed for playing Titan Poker on Macs, but it also works wonderfully within your browser on LInux.

Pros:

  • Easy to get started with no downloads.
  • Play at Titan from any computer (and OS) without having to download and install the software.
  • Works seamlessly with all LInux distributions.

Cons:

  • Can be a little less responsive and has slightly fewer features than the standard Titan Poker download client.

2) Running Titan Poker on LInux through WINE.

Visit the WINE website and download the Titan Poker software

If you have been using LInux for some time, you should already be aware of winehq.org. If not, WINE is basically a very handy tool that allows you to run Windows programs on LInux. Seeing as the Titan Poker client is a Windows .exe file, WINE is another great option for running TitanPoker on LInux.

WINE has different installations for a number of LInux distros, including:

  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • Mandriva
  • Fedora

Pros:

  • More features than the flash version.
  • Slightly more responsive.

Cons:

  • Requires more effort to get it up and running that the instant play version.

Instant play or WINE for Linux Titan Poker?

I've already outlined the pros and cons for the different methods of running Titan Poker on LInux, but here's a little more of a break down to help you make the right choice.

Titan Poker on Linux using instant play (flash version).

Go for this option if you're more of an infrequent online poker player that only really plays causally - maybe around once or twice a week. It's a quick and easy way to play online poker.

On the other hand, you may be a Linux purist and so the thought of using a workaround like WINE to run a Windows program isn't your cup of tea. So once again, the instant play version will be the best option for you.
