MTG Arena Linux Client
Hello,
I wanted to request / show interest in a Linux client for the game.
The game can run through Wine in Linux though many workarounds, but it would be preferable if the game had an official Linux client (which theoretically shouldn't be too hard, given that it's a Unity game).

Please make a Linux Client.

The android client on a phone is hardly usable. A desktop client for Linux would allow me to actually play this game.

Come on Wizards!

The game is made in Unity right? Porting it to linux is literally a press of a button.

I use Linux and play MTGA from an android device, it would be great if i could also play it on my Desktop

I hope Wizards is able to recognize that, while Linux might not have a large userbase in the wider gaming sphere, the overlap between Linux users and Magic players is huge, and this is a considerable untapped market. In addition, porting to Linux will likely be beneficial to the ports for Android, which I assume Wizards has at least some plans to implement at some point in the future.

This would be great.
I play with lutris but sometimes something breaks and the game crash. -

Definitely linux support is needed...especially now that the steam deck is out.

Sadly, I fear only 15 (now 16) comments and 125 votes in a year's time won't result in much thought being put to a native Linux port.

Mr.Domino#81492 commented
Yes, please. Linux support would go a long way to getting this game to a more diverse audience.

I would be so freaking happy to get this. I find that having it native is much easier than trying to run it through a VM

As a long time Linux user and gamer, I, too, would warmly welcome a native client (and, likely, finally encourage a friend or two, who are Linux-only)

This would be great and well-timed with the release of the Steam Deck.

I'd love native Linux support! Linux gaming is gaining traction over the years, and the steam deck also shows. It would be a good move :)

Would love to run a native version too, I would finally able to run Arena on all my machines :)

As much as I'd love this, as others have mentioned, it runs really will through Lutris. Not only that, but you get a native experience through GeForce Now running through Chrome. OK, unless you have a paid account you have to go back in each hour but sometimes having your play time limited isn't a bad thing. ;)

There is no need for a native client, since Lutris handles the game quite well.

I would love to see a Linux desktop client - I play now, like most folks here, through Lutris but it's great to have a native app and not have to tinker with things out of the box.
Could net WotC a whole new audience with Steam Deck around the corner...
