    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Dwarf Fortress now has a Linux Beta available on Steam, so you can get testing and see what all the fuss is about with this new version.

    While it was already playable with Proton, we knew for a while that Bay 12 Games planned Native Linux support as well.

    As they said in the Steam announcement “The Linux version is almost ready, and in about two weeks we will be looking for beta testers, after Tarn gets back from Germany… in fact, it’s already on the Public Beta Branch!”

    Simply opt into the main Beta for it on Steam and you’ll be able to play and test it.

    However, if you find you can’t get it because it keeps using Proton, you can select the Steam Linux Runtime from the Compatibility menu which will then make sure it grabs the Linux version.

    So far so good it’s all working as expected, although the game still intimidates the heck out of me.
