Hi,
Bluekenue does works pretty good in any linux distro that can run Wine.
The best way to install it in Ubuntu is using PlayOnLinux package with the following config:
*64 bits.
*Wine 1.6.x or 1.8.x (the one in the ubuntu 16.04 Lts repository works just well enough)
*Windows Xp configuration (windows 7 just doest work properly).
*you could play with GSL support and memory in the wine config options for better performance if you have a discrete GPU.
P.S. PlayOnlinux has a simple and straightforward usage, and exists a lot of resources for its installation/config in their forum
regards,
José Díaz.
