SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics now officially supports Linux with a big update & price drop
12 Jun 2018 at 7:07 pm UTC

I don't own the game so I haven't tried actually installing it, but they don't show the SteamOS icon on its store page. This is confusing, does it have some sort of unadvertised Linux support? If it does support Linux, why isn't the store showing that?

So, did this turn out to be false? Do we have any word on whether this is actually coming for Linux?
I see the article saying "is now officially available on Linux" but I have no idea what it's talking about. The game is definitely not available on Linux. If the author is indeed seeing it available for Linux then it means it's region locked. I live in Canada.

Fifa or PES. Those definitely has a big market, and are definitely an area Linux lacks.

Nice to see performance so close to the original version. It looks like focusing solely on Vulkan is paying off well.

Steam Machines weren't ready. Far from it. I'd say to have a decent console, three things should come together. Vulkan, Wayland and OpenXR. Once that works in combined stack, there can be successful high end Linux consoles.
Vulkan is already here and well supported. Wayland is less important than you might think, and it's certainly less important for consoles than it is for desktops and laptops. OpenXR? How many PS4 gamers do you know who use VR? It's a new market and will continue to be a minority market for the foreseeable future.

Anyone knows how powerful is this R7 GPU? I wish they revealed more details.

As others said, just look for a laptop with AMD GPU. I asked Pop OS developers on their mattermost channel about dual GPU and they confirmed that you need to reboot your machine every time you switch the GPU. Pretty useless if you ask me.
