[Windows 64 bit community workaround]

I have no idea where you got this, but it is completely false. I mod the living heck out of it, and it never, ever crashes or bugs out on me. And yes, it exceeds 4GB. And that's not an isolated experience. I know many people running it with heavily modded installs exceeding 4GB who have no issues at all. I have maybe 2k hours with it over various versions, and I have had 3 crashes in all that time. The last time was a very long time ago. That's almost unheard of levels of stability.

tl;dr 64 bit KSP for Linux is beautiful.

I'll second this. I also run KSP 64bit on Linux and have had extremely few crashes and those were only caused by mods not behaving.

Do you start getting those artifacts before 200km altitude?

I am running KSP 64bit on Linux Mint 17 and was getting something similar on my system. I also get the pink box on start up.

I have a i7-4790k, Nvidia Geforce 780. I'm using the Nvidia proprietary drivers with AA turned on driver side (since it doesn't work game side).

Please update texture replacer to the newest version. This is the same issue I was having. Updating TR fixed it.

I was trying to use this on linux when I try to draft a twitch viewer I get the following error message:

Try xubuntu. It's an Ubuntu back end with a lightweight and very usable Windows manager. I'm running 14.04.1 and it's amazing. I also have 16GB of ram and an Nvidia video card.
