    you guys should consider porting beamng drive to Linux' because today I was forced to install Linux due to windows 7 crashing every 5 minutes. I love this game, you guys did a really good job.

    Although it might happen someday, the devs’ priorities aren’t on Linux or Mac versions right now.

    I understand, the game is still early access and it has to be very difficult to port a game onto a different OS system and time consuming.

    I'm on a laptop with Linux Mint 19. For BeamNG, I use a PC. But it would be cool to be able to download BeamNG on this laptop.

    You can run BeamNG on Linux, but not through Steam. You would need to have it installed there, but use Lutris (probably most successful) to run it directly from the .exe. I can't say how the performance will be, but it shouldn't be super bad
