The CLI only looked at the Stride.GameStudio package, so a version with only the Avalonia Game Studio (Stride.GameStudio.Avalonia.Desktop) was never listed, and `stride studio` opened WPF on Windows and found nothing elsewhere. - `sdk list` lists a version once with its Game Studios: "4.5.0-dev (WPF, Avalonia)". - `studio --editor wpf|avalonia` opens the Game Studio from its own package. The default is WPF on Windows when the version has it, else Avalonia; asking for one the version doesn't have, or WPF off Windows, says so. - `sdk uninstall` removes every Game Studio of the version, and the dependencies no other version uses.
Once a Wine prefix is set up (Windows .NET, d3dcompiler_47, fonts), the WPF Game Studio starts with a plain `wine Stride.GameStudio.exe <solution>`. Off Windows, `stride studio --editor wpf`, or a version that has only the WPF Game Studio, now runs it that way when wine is on the PATH: the exe is found in the Windows-only TFM folder, the solution path goes through the Z: drive, and the editor picks its .NET runtime in the prefix itself. Without wine, the error says what is needed. Avalonia stays the default off Windows when the version has it.
The Game Studios, their packages and their names (WPF, Avalonia) move to sources/shared/GameStudioEditor.cs, linked into the CLI and the launcher. The launcher's GameStudioNames constants, its WPF/Avalonia names and its main package filter now come from it.
A prefix can drop the Z: drive (winecfg, sandboxed prefixes), so the solution path given to the WPF Game Studio under Wine now comes from `wine winepath -w`, which follows the prefix's drives. The Z: drive is the fallback when winepath fails or takes over 30 seconds (it is left to finish: the first wine command of a new prefix creates it).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The description says this was only tried on Linux with stub installs.
Maybe worth trying to run stride studio and stride sdk list once on Windows with a real WPF install before we merge? The default editor path changed there too.
- `stride studio` looks for the Game Studio before converting the solution path for Wine, so a version without it fails at once instead of after winepath (which can create a whole prefix first). - `--editor` takes wpf or avalonia, in any case. The default enum parsing also took numbers, such as `--editor 5`, which then crashed.

@xen2 I made the requested changes. I also updated the PR description (that was generated by Claude and its agent only tested on Linux + Wine). I did a test locally on my Windows laptop. |

PR Details
The CLI only knew the WPF Game Studio package (
Stride.GameStudio). The Avalonia Game Studio, in its own package (Stride.GameStudio.Avalonia.Desktop), was never listed, andstride studioopened WPF on Windows and found nothing elsewhere.stride sdk listlists each version once with its Game Studios:4.5.0-dev (WPF, Avalonia).stride studio --editor wpf|avaloniaopens either one. The default is WPF on Windows when the version has it, else Avalonia.wineis on the PATH:wine Stride.GameStudio.exe <solution>, with the path converted bywinepath(Z:as fallback). Setting up the Wine prefix is up to the user.stride sdk uninstallremoves every Game Studio package of the version.sources/shared/GameStudioEditor.csholds the Game Studio ids and names, shared by the CLI and the launcher.Not included:
sdk install/updatestill fetch onlyStride.GameStudio, since no feed publishes the Avalonia package yet.Related Issue
Follow-up to #3692.
#3600 and #3684 would need to be merged as well to ensure launching through Wine works fine on Linux.
