There's currently 26,186 online on Steam playing the game, it's currently "the big thing". It would be a real shame for us to completely miss out on it.
Ethan Lee (@flibitijibibo) porter of many games to Linux recently said this on their Steam forum:
QuoteTook it apart and it seems to work with FNA...

... but there are some calls to user32/imm32 and System.Windows.Forms so the result is a black screen when I try to work around them. I can hear some background sounds and the game is technically swapping buffers (it's just presenting a screen that hasn't been drawn to, only cleared), but I guess something involving the Win32 interop is resulting in a silent error. Would be happy to look into this further if the developer is interested.

For those that don't know Ethan ported Waveform, Eversion, Vessel, Super Hexagon, Proteus, Capsized, Gateways, and many more to Linux
If you want to see it on Linux, it would be a good idea to let them know in that forum topic linked above (just saying +1 is considered spam though, make it interesting!). You could also tweet chucklefish and ConcernedApe to let them know.
I really hope they either work with Ethan to port it, or do it themselves. I really want to give it a go. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
What I used is:
* Wine 1.9.4
* A fresh win32 prefix (WINEARCH=win32)
* Winetricks to install dotnet40 and xna40
* Steamcmd to download and update Stardew Valley
To run the game, I just need to cd to the directory with the game files and run 'wine Stardew\ Valley.exe'
One quirk I've noticed, is that audio only works if it is set to use my headphones when the game launches. I think that's down to my pulseaudio configuration though.

Quoting: linuxgamerI'm not sure what you mean.Quoting: WorMzyIt's been more stable for me in wine, than it has for the girlfriend on Windows. ^_^Strange answer for GOL, and I don't mean the stabler than Windows part.

I created a thread over on the GOG forums asking the devs for a Linux version. Doing my part.

A mod has updated the FAQ to suggest that Mac and Linux ports are quite likely (but not a guaranteed thing): http://steamcommunity.com/app/413150/discussions/0/405692758706993502/

Apparently it is outselling The Division and Far Cry: Primal, so hopefully we'll get to see it on Linux...

Made an account just to say the following:
Stardew Valley is far more like Rune Factory than Harvest Moon. Please spread the word, and play all three so I get more games that I like to play.
Thanks.
