As far as I can tell, Nightdive hasn't done a Linux build of a KEX engine game since the Forsaken and Turok 1+2 remasters in 2018, presumably because Proton came out around that time and they decided porting was unnecessary. They also don't maintain the Linux ports they did release. (See for example the Linux build of their Turok remaster, which didn't get the KEX 4 upgrade that the Windows version did. There's a Steam forum post in which a developer mentions they've "been talking to our usual Linux contacts but they seem busy with other things", so it sounds like there was at least some thought of a new Linux build at some point, but it's probably never going to happen.)
You could kindly let Nightdive know that you would appreciate native Linux support, but you'd be going up against the hordes of normie Linux gamers who literally go around telling developers NOT to bother with porting to Linux because they fell for the "Linux ports just break two years after release" meme.
