The developer FAQ names Linux and Steam Deck among the Steam platforms. However, the store page checked on September 9 shows Windows and macOS requirements without a separate Linux section. We have not verified a native Linux build or a working configuration for your distribution.
A support statement is not an install recipe.
Linux is named.
The pinned FAQ lists Linux and Steam Deck. This is an official platform statement, not a result from our own hardware testing.
No separate Linux requirements found.
The checked listing supplies Windows and macOS requirements. It does not establish the Linux distribution, driver or compatibility-tool configuration to use.
These sources leave the delivery method unresolved here. We therefore do not describe the game as a verified native Linux release or prescribe a particular Proton version. Missing Linux requirements alone also do not demonstrate that the developer’s compatibility statement is false.
Steam Deck compatibility has its own limits.
The developer FAQ answers positively about Steam Deck compatibility. That does not establish a Valve Verified rating, frame-rate target, battery-life figure or every desktop Linux setup.
Running the game and joining a friend on another operating system are separate checks. See the crossplay reference for the platform pairings that remain unconfirmed in the reviewed sources.
Turn “it does not work” into a useful report.
We do not have a reproduced BOMBANANA Linux failure and tested fix to publish. If your setup fails, record the point where it stops before changing several settings at once.
- Environment
- Linux distribution and version, hardware and graphics driver.
- Game build
- Full release or old Demo, with the version shown if available.
- Runtime
- Any compatibility tool already selected and its version; do not assume one is required because it is mentioned in another game’s guide.
- Failure point
- Installation, launch, display, controls, sound or joining a room.
- Observed result
- The exact error message and whether the issue happens every time.
Use that information when asking in the official Steam discussions or official Discord. A fix for a different Steam game is not evidence of a BOMBANANA-specific solution.

This page records what the official sources establish and what still needs an environment test. It does not supply an unverified launch flag, forced compatibility-tool version or native installer.
