I have not tried it on Linux. It is a very detailed city builder with a wide variety of public transport.
There are different game modes, one where you start in the 60s (I think) and need to research solar and wind power. Another where all tech can be available.
Same, I really enjoy starting from scratch and building self sufficiency. It's my favorite city builder for the depth!
