  1. Download balatro-1.0.1f (the latest version as of 9 June 2024).
  2. Unzip the executable: 
    unzip Balatro.exe -d balatro/
  3. Add this to the OS-specific settings switch in globals.lua: 
    if love.system.getOS() == 'Linux' then
    self.F_DISCORD = false
    self.F_SAVE_TIMER = 5
    self.F_ENGLISH_ONLY = true
    self.F_CRASH_REPORTS = false
    self.F_NO_ACHIEVEMENTS = true
end
  4. Zip everything up again into a file named Balatro.love: 
    zip -r Balatro.love *
  5. Install love2d: 
    sudo pacman -S love
  6. Launch Balatro with the SDL_VIDEODRIVER envvar (otherwise for me it runs in xwayland): 
    SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland love Balatro.love
