WARNING (10th June 2025): This Snap is no longer maintained and I cannot guarantee that it will continue to work from this point. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Dwarf Fortress Classic is an ASCII-based single-player fantasy game by Bay 12 Games. You can control a dwarven outpost or an adventurer in a randomly generated, persistent world.
This is an unofficial snap, which redistributes the original binaries without modification.
Copyright (c) 2002-2022. All rights are retained by Tarn Adams, save the following: you may distribute modified text files from the data and raw folders (see the readme.txt in those folders for more information). We'd appreciate it if you credit yourself or an alias somewhere for any modifications to prevent confusion with vanilla DF (it helps with bug reports).
This software is still in development, and this means that there are going to be problems, including serious problems that, however unlikely, might damage your system or the information stored on it. Please be aware of this before playing.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install Dwarf Fortress Classic, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install dwarffortress
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
