Hi guys, Joel from Frozenbyte here, developers of Trine 2. We're still in "stealth" mode regarding the Linux release - so that's why there's not a lot of official information available etc. We made the current beta available to our Humble Store customers so we can gather technical feedback (thanks btw). We will announce the beta officially this week, and final release will probably take a couple of weeks.
The Steam references are only for the Windows version, of course. Linux does not use Steam, it's a DRM-free version naturally. The only downside is that multiplayer won't have as much players as Windows/Steam, but the Linux version will (eventually, after final release) be able to play against other DRM-free Mac and Windows versions (we'll release a DRM free Windows version at some point but not yet).
I hope this helps a bit. Thanks for supporting us in any case, and to those who buy the game I hope you enjoy it.
