IIRC, there was some talk of having a linux version some time down the road. That would be great, but in the meantime, the game is running 99% perfectly in WINE 2.22. Just some missing tooltip text as far as I can tell, and I may be able to fix that with some winetricks shenanigans. Created a new 64bit prefix, installed steam, then installed the beta. Runs like a dream on my laptop with integrated graphics. I just did it for the hell of it, since I'm stuck in a motel room waiting to move into my new house when I got the beta invite. Glad I was bored enough to try it out.
Vesuvius should bump this. I have linux running on one of my laptops, I will try it too. Thanks, this is good news.
