We know that the Trine Enchanted Edition major update to Trine will come to Linux, but we don't know when yet sadly. The good news is they may do a beta for the Linux version.
A little history on the subject: The Linux port of Trine never appeared on Steam, sadly, but we found out why thanks to FutureSuture. It was due to the original port being outsourced.
We then found out it was delayed with an interview thanks to Cheeseness.
Now the developers have taken to the Steam forum to mention this:

It's sad, but developers have to prioritise and it seems Linux right now is on the lower end of the scales. We hope it will be out before the end of this year so we can all appreciate Trine in its full glory.
About Trine Enchanted Edition
The Enchanted Edition is a free update for Trine with added features, such as the online multiplayer. The updated version does not impact the original game. Instead, both versions are available and can be selected from the game launcher. At the moment the Enchanted Edition is only available in Steam for Windows, but we will be adding the Mac and Linux versions afterwards. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteFor now, we don't have a set release date for the Linux or Mac versions yet, so you might have to wait a while - but we're working on them, and we'll look into the possibility of a beta a bit closer to their release. :) Can't make any promises about this though.

Quoting: edoI would prefer to have the original trine available in steam linux too, due to trine 2 runs very slow even on windows, so on linux it will be unplayable (I have to use the r600 driver).
btw, the humble-bundle trine version does not work either.
Trine 2 is perfectly playable for me on Linux with a Radeon HD 4670 and the R600 Gallium3D drivers:

I do hope that non-Steam users will still have the old Alternative Games port available for download alongside the Enchanted Edition though - if it does use the Trine 2 skills there are enough game balance changes between the two that my opinion might swing heavily between them.
