Hi,
i am not a linux user so i only can give you generell information.
At first the logfile that rimworld create at each start is needed to see why Rimworld close.
To locatete the logfile you should read

Since you write "18.3" I suppose you have Linux Mint?

Hard to know what the issue is, but one thing you can try to check is whether the file you are probably using to start the game with is set as an executable. Otherwise it might just blip and close again.

Right-click on the "start_RimWorld.sh" file, and select Properties. Go to Permissions tab and tick the checkbox for "Allow executing file as program". Maybe this is set by default, but I don't recall because it's a long time since I installed the game.

You can also create a launcher and put it on the desktop for easier access, which links to this file. Hopefully this is straightforward since it's been a while. Right click on the desktop and select "Create a new launcher here". Then insert the path to the abovementioned file, which in my case is:

Code Select Expand

/home/pangaea/Games/RimWorld1-0-2282Linux/start_RimWorld.sh
Allow to run as a program under Permissions, and I think you should be set.

Of course, it's entirely possible there is a bigger issue than just this (check the log), but it's worth a shot.

Did you manage to get the game running, or get a bit further?

If you didn't get it working, you might try this:  Run RimWorld from the command line and see if any errors pop up when it unexpectedly closes.

I'm running a debian-based system (SolydXK, X version), and it runs quite well.
