Fix Tomb Raider Crash on Linux

The latest Tomb Raider titles (Tomb Raider, Raise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider) can crash on latest Linux distros. The reason is that nowadays, pipewire replaced pulseaudio as the default audio back-end.

Install pulseaudio

Tomb Raider games were ported to Linux when pipewire isn’t a thing yet. So they rely on pulseaudio API.

However, latest GNU/Linux distros have switched to pipewire for better sandbox and lower latency. Though pipewire provides some compatible layer for pulseaudio, the implementation is not perfect enough to run some apps and games.

To fix the crash, simply install pulseaudio to replace pipewire. Take openSUSE as an example:

sudo zypper install pulseaudio libjack0

Then reboot your system.

This should Raise of the Tomb Raider. But the other two games require extra fixes.
