Good idea :P lol only joking. But yeah its always a bugger when a new release comes out, but its worth the wait.
I'm glad the Devs have taken the time to create a truly multi-platform game, and although the Linux release takes a while to become available, it does eventually.
(And I agree with you, running under emulation is not ideal, in my case its kinda laggy and not as pretty as the native version, but its probably me not taking the time to fiddle with graphical settings.)
