I'm not running Linux all the time and compiling the game from scratch is not out of the question but why aren't there any Linux binaries? Like a nice .deb for Ubuntu and its variants. Even a snap or flatpak would suffice.

That's a good idea, for sure. I think the only reason there are no Linux binaries is we never tired to make them.

Yeah this would be nice to have a Linux binary. Just thinking, someone identified themselves as a maintainer of the ivan Arch Linux package before:

https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/issues/442#issuecomment-40357...

There's a link in there to that package:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ivan

Looks like they ran into a build issue on gcc, so that's why they not running 0.59?
There's probably a straightforward fix for that.

I guess a lot of folk are running Debian-based Linux flavours, so we could work on a package for that?
