> steam version [...] I guess I could try running it with Wine Seems like you're not familiar with Proton[0], The "Wine + enhancements" compatibility layer that the native Linux version of Steam uses to run the majority[1] of significant Windows games. User reports are that DF runs without problems under proton[2,3,4] Anecdotally, as a thoroughgoing and (evidently) shameless cheapskate, I can report the free "classic" ascii only Windows version[5] works well under stock Wine-staging via apt on my Ubuntu laptop. Having said all that, I share your sadness that a native Linux version wasn't released along with the windows Steam release, though reportedly it is planned for the future[6,7] 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software) 1: https://www.protondb.com/ https://www.protondb.com/ 2: https://www.protondb.com/app/975370 https://www.protondb.com/app/975370 3: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zwk7b8/linux_users_impressions_of_the_steam_version_so/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zwk7b8/linux... 4: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zsv6fl/installing_steam_workshop_mods_on_linux/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zsv6fl/insta... 5: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_50_05_win.zip http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_50_05_win.zip 6: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/11/dwarf-fortress-releases-december-6-on-steam-and-itchio-native-linux-support-later/ https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/11/dwarf-fortress-release... 7: References by Tarn Adams to "the ports", e.g.: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/z82m0g/im_tarn_adams_aka_toady_one_dwarf_fortress/iyamfft/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/z82m0g/im_ta...
