Stellarium, alternative Linux à Stellarium

Notre avis

Stellarium on Linux is a direct replacement for the Windows version. It offers the same real‑time 3‑D sky rendering, star catalogues, sky‑culture selections and simulation controls, so anyone who uses Stellarium for education, hobby astronomy or planning observations will find the Linux build fully adequate.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

  • Real‑time 3‑D rendering with OpenGL
  • Same star catalogue (≈600 k built‑in, optional up to 220 M)
  • Identical sky‑culture and planet‑exploration features
  • Time, date and location simulation controls
  • Built‑in scripting engine

Ce qui change

  • Linux packages may lag slightly behind the Windows installer in the very latest release
  • Some Windows‑only plug‑ins or third‑party extensions are not packaged for Linux
  • Installation method differs (e.g., Flathub, distro packages vs. .exe installer)
  • Minor UI scaling quirks on certain desktop environments

Ouvrir vos fichiers Stellarium

Stellarium uses its own .ssc (configuration) and .stl (landscape) files. Linux can open and save these without conversion, and you can copy any custom files from a Windows installation to the same directories on Linux. Export formats such as screenshots are identical across platforms. No known incompatibilities have been reported.

Passer de Stellarium à Stellarium, étape par étape

  1. Install Stellarium from your distro’s repository or via Flathub.
  2. Copy your custom landscape (.stl) and configuration (.ssc) files from the Windows %APPDATA%/Stellarium folder to ~/.local/share/Stellarium on Linux.
  3. Launch Stellarium and verify that your location, time zone and custom settings are loaded.
  4. If you use extra star catalogues, download them again through the Linux UI or copy the catalogue files to the appropriate data folder.
  5. Test any scripts you rely on; adjust file paths if they reference Windows‑style directories.
