Also, I'm not sure Linux still supports Adobe AIR. They recommend trying a compatibility layer like Wine (https://www.winehq.org/) on the .exe in the "Windows Zip" option on the Downloads page.

Unfortunately my answer is as Matthew Kliparchuk quoted from the Q&A. The DL uses Adobe AIR which doesn't have a compatible version for Linux, so the best option is to see if you can run it via some compatibility layer or other way of running Windows programs on Linux. Would appreciate hearing any other suggestions from the Linux using Bush Whackers!

I used the following guide to install Wine because the version in Mint's repository is still 5: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-wine-on-ubuntu-linux-mint-desktop/ I used the standalone client from the zip file: https://bushwhacker2.djartsgames.ca/~bushwhacker2/downloads/BushWhacker2.zip
