Developer Bridge can't connect

I run Linux (Ubuntu) naively so I can't set up an emulator and the developer bridge can't connect! Has anyone set this up in a virtual environment? And can you confirm that it works correctly? Don't really want to invest the time to set it up and i feel like theres a good chance it doesn't work considering how buggy the developer bridge is.

Also as a side note to whoever runs developer relations: screw the wireless connection approach. Developers can build test iterations like 1,000,000,000 times faster with a wired connection.

I believe there are a number of developers who run the simulator under Wine.

Here's a config which was posted on Discord:

 

env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine .wine32/drive_c/users/greg/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Programs/@fitbitsimulator/Fitbit\ OS\ Simulator.exe

 

There developer bridge isn't buggy, do you have specific problems or error messages?
