Man, looking through this entire thread makes me thank my lucky stars that I am skilled and wise enough to be able to use BOTH Linux and Windows operating systems. The arguments and blatant inability to read information is somewhat insulting, though that was mainly due to a small number of participants (and the thread derailing, good job Raze for keeping this stuff on track, you did pretty awesome).
But basically, tl;dr you guys are getting an official linux version, no ifs ands or buts.
If you don't have a gpu that can run dx11, pm me and I'm sure we can work out a deal.
