Running/Flashing Recent, Signed RUUs on Linux?

Has anyone been able to run/flash a recent, signed RUU (Lollipop, 7.XX) on Linux either in WINE, a VM, or the native fastboot?

HTC Sync Manager crashes under WINE; so does the RUU executable. The rom.zip can still be extracted through WINE, but neither the normal fastboot (Ubuntu 14.04) nor the "legal" fastboot available at HTCDev can flash it without failing. Also, running htc_fastboot under WINE (cmd.exe) doesn't work because the device is not found.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi there guys,

Its been awhile since I've rooted a phone so my memory is rusty on a few things.
Firstly, I think I read somewhere in a tutorial that the OS I originally download the stuff to has to be windows based?

Then I have a few more questions,.
I upgraded to lollipop already but I dont think that will be issue, unless you say otherwise.

The alpha came out on the official release list for marshmallow.
Will the root interfere with my phones ability to receive that update?

Thanks!
