Better just wait for the native Linux client then.
I'm pretty sure they're working a little on it at the moment.

It's still down there at the bottom: Linux was about a quarter of total revenue, more than Mac, and a higher price per purchase than either of the others.
Well, that is certainly note worthy. Although I think it was exaggerated slightly when it was said "easily two times as much". But still, note worthy.

It may be exaggerated for the first bundle, but not for the second. As can be seen on
http://www.humblebundle.com/, the Linux average was $13.78 and the Windows average $6.68, a ratio of 2.06.

What leads you to the conclusion that they're working on a native Linux client?
I doubt they are. It will most likely happen at the end of development.

They've already made Ryan look at the source code. Asked them on IRC.

It appears the more obscure the operating system, the more they like to support the "little guys" that support them. Now, if an independently developed game is released on FreeBSD, and sold in fund raiser, I wonder how much they'd pay on average. Do they even play PC games? (The ones that run it elusively, that is).

I would figure the lately increase of Linux users is happening with Ubuntu, Mint, and all other debuntu based, which clearly are of a much larger scale than for BSD users.
Most of them seem to have a need to play games also, is BSD even built with gaming in mind, say Graphic card vendors make drivers for it etc.

What's interesting is an official build of Debian has been made that lacks the Linux kernel, opting for a BSD kernel. Of course, you can still get the latest version with a Linux kernel of course, but it's interesting they've taken what many people call "the most influential Linux distro" and have taken out the Linux part. I think BSD is not built with gaming in mind, I was just trying to say, perhaps the more obscure groups appreciate support more than the people who take it for granted. You could probably get ATI drivers for BSD, with them releasing open source drivers and all, but I don't know about nVidia. Don't take my word for it, though, I've never run BSD before, nor have I read into graphics card drivers for it.

I think the last OG in Wine I tried was 112... So afraid that I can't help you out much.
We should just cross our fingers that it's not far away.

find Overgrowths Data directory, add an empty txt file called hwreport.txt and try to run the game again. Works for me, although as soon as I press 8 it will crash. But atleast you can load red desert and stuff like that..
