I agree, though I believe the game was made by Norwegian company and published by Swedish one.

it worked fine for me on Mint when I tried earlier today

It's a norwegian made game, not finnish.

I played it on Ubuntu with no issues.

And the music is from Iceland. - I mean the band was Islandic.

Ooh, Moomin is a Finnish thing, for that reason my comment, Good info guys !!

Still... i can't pay if they don't do a Native Linux version

but the whole point of proton was to allow the 2% of us gamers who use linux an ability to play so many more games. this game plays beautifully on steam deck and nobara (kde plasma)

And as we all know us Norwegians hate Linux with a passion.

I'm not interested in pay for a windows game and use through Proton

you own a bunch of windows only games that arent free...

And you could just buy the game here on Steam and emulate the Switch version. It should run on any potato PC.

Would have definitely already bought this game.

What d'you mean? Is it really so? Elaborate? Or did you just forget /s ?

I works flawlessly via proton, no additional tweaking required so I would argue that the point is moot.

If this was a "AAAA" publisher creation, I could understand the frustration, however...
Linux users are 2% of the steam userbase, if a dev, ESPECIALLY an indie dev, has a choice to spend time and resources on making a better game overall rather than having a linux native version, I'd happily take a better game I can run via proton - As long as they do not go out of their way to screw linux users - especially considering some linux native versions of games age incredibly poorly and suffer from issues relating to outdated libs and poor performance on later hardware (Witcher 2 being the prime example I had experience with).

And before somebody accuses me of being an ms win fanboy:
OS: Nobara Linux 40 (KDE Plasma) x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.11.7-201.fsync.fc40.x86_64

So cut the people some slack and stop being preachy. And if you do not find that convincing then just don't get the game, I'm having a chill-af experience here (with, again, no issues, running on latest stable steam proton) so it's your loss, I suppose.
