What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam

As a casual RTS player I never really liked SC2 too much, at least in multiplayer. It's one of those games where you get instantly punished when you don't play optimally. In AoE or Supreme Commander or something I can at least build a base in peace for a while before I get absolutely destroyed.

Edit: I agree with forged alliance though. It runs on Linux and is an awesome game. Great sense of scale, and also nice for casual play
