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).

This is essential, more people should vote for this

Having a native linux client should be preferible than running MTGA within Wine. It should be not so difficult having into account that it's a Unity application and there is already an Android client. The number of linux users interested in MTGA is increasing. I hope WotC will listen our voices soon. Thank you.

A flatpak version on flathub would be enough. Then any distro could dowload it an there would be no need for .deb, rpm, Appimage, aur, etc.

Given MTGA is build with Unity, I am flummoxed as to why we do not have a native Linux port.

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

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.

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.

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.
