Since this isn't a DF bug I can't report it to the bug tracker, but I just wanted to put it online somewhere: I'm experiencing crashes with running the new version on wine/amd64.  This happens both with wine 8 stable and development, and rarely enough that I get a good fortress going on for a few years before the application suddenly quits and takes a season's worth of progress with it.

If there's any other people playing from itch who refuse to use Steam/Proton, I would advise caution.  I will hold my elkbirds and wait until the Linux version is back before commiting to play.

The linux version is available for testing in the beta stream on Steam.  It has worked flawlessly for me.  I could quibble about the *one* issue I found (it doesn't always automatically realise window size changes with my current window manager), but it's a very tiny issue that I doubt it will bother you :-)  Performance is *much* better too.  On my underpowered laptop, I get a good 4 times the graphical frame rate I was getting before at the same CPU usage. Also, it works perfectly under Wayland.

Thanks! I don't use Steam, though.  If there's any way to access the Linux beta via itch, I'll be glad to help test it (by playing Dwarf Fortress)
