What's the current state of tools on linux?

[JPortici]

I wanted to start doing some stuff in my linux box at home (Debian 13 / KDE / Wayland) and... what do i use?
I'd be using a cheap lattice or gowin, so i tried lattice first.

First i tried to install propel. Launching it gives an eclipse error, it requires openjdk-11. Seriously, 11? I had to install it manually in debian trixie from the sid packages, but it didn't configure properly, and it wasn't recognized.

Then i tried radiant. It installed, but it didn't launch due to "GLX" error. I gather it's because i don't have X Sessions available! but it should worg through XWayland...? I don't know. They still support only old distros.

What about gowin tools? am i doomed to the same fate?

Should i use proton/wine instead? open source tools? what else?

Remember, 99.99% of FPGA design is timing, and only the manufacturers' own original tools contain the timing model of the device.

Without that timing information there's no possible way to prove that any design will work reliably and meet setup & hold requirements across temperature and from device to device.
