Oh well, yeah thats why we don't need a Linux version.
I just want to play on Linux, without much problems.

Writing a windows client is perfectly fine. As long as it support OpenGL.
The moment it support OpenGL. It will work perfectly fine with wine.
And if we have problems.. SE must not care.. since we aren't supported.

What the hell are you talking about.. Linux is one standard.
It uses the Linux-Kernel. Doesn't matter which distribution.
And as long as you support a "minimal"-Kernel-version.
You can bundle all "Librarys" with the binary and it will run perfectly fine on every Linux-system (but it might not be allowed to bundle every library).
For ArchLinux they would need to support Kernel 2.6.27, because glibc-2.12.2-1 needs it.
But I am running Kernel 3.3.8 .
