Double good news for you here as today RUINER entered Beta for Linux, plus you can get it cheap as an early unlock in the newest Humble Monthly (affiliate link).
Writing in the announcement on Steam, the developers noted that a Linux version on GOG is not in their current plans. They will only do that if there's a big enough demand.
Since it's a Beta, there will likely be issues. They say you need VLC installed for video and they've hidden a special cosmetic feature in the game for Linux fans—can't wait to see what, although they do say it's quite tiny.
Grab it now in the Humble Monthly which also gives you Kerbal Space Program, access to the Humble Trove and all the titles they add next month or Steam directly.
About the game:
RUINER is a brutal action shooter set in the year 2091 in the cyber metropolis Rengkok. A wired psychopath lashes out against a corrupt system to uncover the truth and retrieve his kidnapped brother under the guidance of a secretive hacker friend. Combine preternatural reflexes, augmented tools, and the arsenal of fallen foes to tear down and dismantle the corporate titans of virtuality dealers at HEAVEN.
They did say we would get a key to cover it properly today, but haven't heard back yet so will wait and see. Update: We have keys!

I've never understood this early unlock thing on Humble Bundle. So I can unlock NEXT month's by paying early... but I'm already a subscriber, so if I kill my subscription, then pay for next month? what if I paid for a year already? Now I have to wait?

They are quite annoying how they designed it. Sharing my findings again, for the benefit of others:
1. When your subscription is active you can get 10% extra discount off store purchases.
2. If you buy a Year's worth of Monthly Credits, like I did, then it is similar to the rolling monthly one (except you've paid for 12 months in advance) and you have the total cost you pay 1 month cheaper. And also Humble sometimes give away $20 store credit as well (which I took advantage of).
3. At any time, the Monthly, 6-Month Credit, Yearly-Credit can be paused. (You do this by choosing to Cancel the Subscription, and then Humble offer you a "Pause a Month" option instead. It would have been less annoying if they presented it as "Pause" immediately rather than this dodgy way of getting to the Pause option.)
4. After you submit a "Pause a Month", then it just pauses the active Monthly Subscription. So if I were to pause right now (and assuming I haven't taken the Early Unlock) then it would pause the current active one and then unpause for the next one.
5. If you take the Early Unlock, you can no longer pause for that month.
6. You can leave the Early Unlock (not claim it) right up until just before the Hidden Titles get revealed (which seems to be 1st Friday of the next month).
7. During this "unclaimed" period (you haven't claimed the Early Unlock) but you are still subscribed, then the 10% Store Discount is active (Cool!). So you can leave the subscription running until just before the Subscription's Payment date (which is approx 25th of the month) and then "Pause a Month".
8. Another advantage I've noticed for Subscribers - Some of the weekly Bundles give out $2 Store Credit when you are a subscriber and buy the Full bundle.
9. In my case, where I paid for the Yearly (12 monthly credits) deal - I'm expecting it to last me approx 2 years. Typically I would unlock a month (with Linux games in the Early Unlock), pause a month (when there aren't Linux games in the Early Unlock), unlock a month, pause a month... until the 12 credits run out.
Hope that helps.

To GOG users: it's probably a good idea to write an e-mail to developers, to let them know that you are interested, and explain general demand for Linux games on GOG.

Eeee! I'm already a monthly subscriber and I hadn't noticed the early drops were out! I looked at Ruiner the other day and thought it looked awesome. SO EXCITE!
Also, been, meaning to get KSP forever and just never pulled the trigger, super happy to see that too!!!

Interesting, that IS helpful! Yeah, I think I bought a year in advance. I also try to buy things on Humble Bundle to get the 10% discount, but then the funny thing is usually when they have it on sale+10%, it's usually the same price on Steam as well (including the 10%)

I made the mistake of waiting to redeem a Humble monthly gift I purchased for myself in April (note: it doesn't matter when/what month you buy it, it's when you redeem it that matters for what bundle you get). I'm pretty salty about this given that I wanted Deus Ex, but oh well. I took a study break from the RHCE to test this game and it performs quite well on my system which really shouldn't be a surprise.
3440x1440 - All Maxed out
65-120Fps, though it does seem to stutter a little bit but I'm not sure if that's related to my CPU or MESA.

Just to confirm the developer has sent over a key now and Humble themselves also provided us with a copy of the Humble Monthly, so both myself and Sin have keys to cover it (livestream + article).

I picked up the humble monthly, I've been eyeing RUINER ever since the 1st trailer came out, and KSP has been on my radar for quite some time as well, so it was a no-brainer.https://discordapp.com/channels/277857463384932353/413881848763252740

Same here. I just used the affiliate link to sign up for Humble Monthly (again... I cancelled my subscription months ago). I mainly wanted Ruiner and Kerbal was a good bonus. Maybe I should have bought them individually because I feel like I am stealing these games. Dirt cheap coming from the Humble Monthly bundle.
