Pray for ET: Legacy to get the same treatment as RealRtCW!

But why would it be too late though? It's right there.

Because Microsoft literally bought them.

Sure, but native is the preference. Why not?

A lot of these games that have Linux native versions, official or otherwise, that aren't published on Steam are supported by Luxtorpeda. It can easily be installed through the ProtonUp-Qt tool and then after restarting Steam it will appear in the list of compatibility tools. Just set it on any supported game and the Linux version will work much like it came from Steam.
In this case, when launching the game, it provides options between ET: Legacy (32 or 64-bit) or ETe (32-bit).
One exception I've noticed is that the project doesn't support reverse engineered ports such as OpenJKDF2 (Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II) since it's legally questionable. Not an issue here since the original engine was open sourced.

The old native Linux executable probably wouldn't run on our modern Linux systems. Using one of the open source ports is your best option on Linux or Windows.
Luxtorpeda makes it easy on Linux to install a native open source engine port.
