+### Tips for Linux users (Optional)
+
+The main purpose of this repository is simply to provide the LDraw library,
+which is platform independent. Just clone the repository, or download and unzip [it](https://github.com/pybricks/ldraw/archive/master.zip).
+You can do this on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
+
+Most LDraw tools and tutorials assume that you use Windows. The following tips are intended to make life a bit easier for Linux users:
+- Do not install `ldraw-parts` with `apt`. It is outdated.
+- LSynth does not provide binaries for Linux, but you can [build it easily](./lsynth). All its dependencies are included, too. You no longer need to search the web for three different zip archives in different locations.
+- A few Linux-compatible LDraw CAD tools do exist, such as [LeoCAD](https://www.leocad.org/). Also, [MLCAD works well with Wine.](./mlcad)
+- [LPub3D](https://trevorsandy.github.io/lpub3d/) is available as an `AppImage`, which conveniently bundles several renderers with it. Before you run it, create a symlink to this repository using `ln -s my/path/to/repo/ldraw/ ~/Documents/ldraw` (replace the first path with your own). LPub3D will look there when you run it for the first time.
