For me, it's Factorio.
a game in which you build and maintain factories.
It even has Wayland support!
(Version 1.1.77» Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:44 pm)
Graphics
- Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)
What's yours?
EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.
You must log in or register to comment.
I think you can be a DRM free copy on their website too. But damn, that game is expensive with all the DLCs.
Nope, I meant this Doom, whose original source code is here on GitHub.
I'm surprised you've not got OpenRCT2 to work - I'm fairly sure it's in most default repos.

You do need to have a full copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as it uses data / assets from the original game.
I would happily link you to Unreal Tournament, but it's no longer for sale anywhere as far as I'm aware.
Ah, the classic one.
Yeah, I will try again soon. I don't know anything about this game, besides I bought it when discounted and it has RollerCoasters.
Ah... what a shame.
Off the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.
Let me link these, so anyone can check them out!
- OpenTTD - amazing reviews for the free game from 14 Mar, 2004.
- Dwarf Fortress - bought it, I have not played it yet, though. I know it got Linux port not so long ago.
- Minecraft - I know this childhood gem, but I hate to have a Microsoft account on Linux and I know there are some launchers. Still hate to play for me single-player game with an account.
For DF: The free version had a Linux build for a long time. The paid version adds new graphics, and it took a while for that to get a Linux release.
For Minecraft: you should be able to play without an account if you're single player and using a third party launcher. I almost exclusively play with friends.
True... I need to try it. Game updates to this game never die.
Highly recommend. I have finished so many worlds with and without mods and I still return to it once in a while.
Yeah, but I heard it's one of the games that you need to have opened Wikipedia on the 2nd monitor.
😂 Well, at the beginning I was a bit lost and a friend played with me for like half an hour and then I knew the basics. After that you look things up that you want to know more about, but it's not necessary to have the wiki open all the time. The game actually has a quite clear progression and hints on first playthrough.
Good to know, you encouraged me to it then! But after all of these updates, the game is huge!
I bought Tales of Maj'Eyal from GOG and have been playing the Linux port. Yeah, I'd say it's my favorite. Even if I hate it sometimes.
So it's easy playable online? No problem finding someone to play?
You are likely to get turbodunked initially as the remaining playerbase are REALLY good and the movement mechanics are un-intuitive.
Outside EU and NA peaks finding a full server can be a bit rough.
There are several practice bot mods, my favorite is called "brainworks".
I never knew factorio has a Linux version. I hear the factory calling me again. You might not see me for a few days.
What will happen when Factorio 2.0 with the new expansion comes out. :)

It has been forked several times, but that works.
So what's the latest and greatest source to download it and play it? Could you link it here?

You would need to either pirate q3a assets or use OpenArena's restored content mod.

Open Roller Coaster Tycoon 2! You need to own an official version of the game in order to get the models and textures and whatnot, which are still under copyright. After that, you can play with ORCT2 and enjoy the expanded capabilities,
CitiesSkylines, it was that game (having lower requirements for linux listed in steam) that actually made me a linux user in the first place!
Borderlands 2. Give me a mindless Diablo With Guns experience any day.
I didn't know there was Linux port of this game, nice!
There was a native release from the jump, it was always kind of jarring being able to install it without selecting a Proton version first.
Nice! Shame that Borderlands 3 does not have it and you need to run it through Proton. :c
Indeed - but it runs really well through Proton, as does BL2, so no big deal.
Horizon Zero Dawn runs perfectly through Proton as well. Currently playing Forbidden West, about 24 hours in, and have encountered some minor issues (occasional momentary graphical glitches, rare instances of dialog drops requiring exit to title screen), but I’m not complaining.
