Dwarf Fortress gets a Linux Beta on Steam
Ready to dig deep? 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.

This is great news! I have always wanted to try Dwarf Fortress but I know myself and I know from past experiences playing ASCII MUDs and rogue-likes that I don't play them enough to memorize what the different symbols represent and that inevitably causes me to drop the game entirely out of frustration. It seems like a small thing, but having the graphical version of the game on Linux is a huge win to me.
DF works on Linux since the beginning.
The Lazy Newb Pack was always available for Linux and through Proton the Steam Pro Version also worked from day one and I never had issues.
It even works with DFhack.
The fact that I've been using Linux for over 20 years and don't know what most of that is seems like an issue...
