Game porter and FNA developer Ethan Lee confirmed it on Twitter to say "It's true! In addition to working as FNA support, I also brought the game to Nintendo Switch and Linux.".
"Punch, whip, and zipline your way through a post-apocalyptic America in this 16-bit retro-style action platformer! Play as Taro Takahashi, a resistance soldier on a revenge mission against the dictator who lords over the ashes."

Whishlisted it, looks very nice.
This publisher (Tribute Games) also did other Linux games, and they will publish the new TMNT. Lets hope we got another sweet Ethan Lee port too.
