Great ones!
Space Station 14, seriously one of the best games I've played.
Interesting that it hasn't come out yet. Did you play demo / playtest or what? I'm glad to see the Linux version.
There is a flatpak. It hasn't technically come out, however there are thousands of players right now. Though most are in russia. I would also recommended looking at the git repository to see how it's going.
There is a flatpak
Oh, nice!
Space Station 14 is a remake of SS13 that runs on Robust Toolbox, our homegrown engine written in C#.
That's awesome. Thanks for showing this game!
My favorite native game is flight simulation X-plane since version 8. For kids Super Tux Kart.
X-plain seems fantastic for hobbyists and enthusiasts! Good to see a Linux port.
Realism You Can Feel
Everything in X-Plane operates from real world physics. Aircraft handling, ground effect, wind gusts, and more will give you the most accurate flight sim experience possible. Try it today!
Detailed World and Atmosphere
As you explore the X-Plane world, the weather, water, light, 3-D forests, and everything around you add to the immersion.
Analyze and Refine Your Flying
There’s no end to the customization you can make to your flight simulator experience. Adjust your approach scenarios, get real-time feedback, and use tools like X-Plane’s replays to study and improve your skills and confidence over time.
Yeah, that's the classic one. It would be weird if there wasn't a Linux port for something "Tux" related.
My top answers are of course Kerbal Space Program, Dwarf Fortress and Stellaris.
However, all those have been mentioned already, so, to add something new to the list: Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It is currently my favourite cRPG.
Edit: Since you mentioned "Great Linux ports": Kingmaker has a game-breaking bug in the Linux version regarding Gamepad input. However, as long as you play it with mouse and keyboard (as the gods intended - insert PC Master Race meme), the Linux version is working perfectly fine. However, if you plan on playing it on the Steam Deck, you might want to play the Windows build.
Great ones!
There are sometimes interesting setbacks with Linux ports.
Yep. With Kingmaker it was extra annoying, because the game has Steam Deck Verified rating, and the Steam Deck defaults to the Linux build.
Thing is, you can play through the whole first chapter of the game with a gamepad without issues... However, once you unlock the Kingdom Management screen, you run into the bug, which is a soft-lock once you open said screen. The UI doesn't properly initialize, all text fields remain at their default value, and you cannot make any inputs any more. Luckily the ESC-Menu still works, so you can save your progress...
If it weren't for the Steam Deck, I guess very few people would have run into this bug, if any at all. Kingmaker has a different UI if played with a gamepad, and even though Kingmaker's gamepad-UI is done really well, it is clear that it is meant for playing the game on a TV screen (think: consoles). If you are sitting right in front of your screen (PC), the UI you see when playing with mouse and keyboard is superior in each and every aspect.
Dota 2
The new Valheim update was pretty fun. I also like playing CS2
Just more content. The ashlands update added a new biome to the game with some fun stuff. Valheim has been running well on Linux for a long time.
Great to hear that! I need to make it finally running... (some weird audio issues)
Open source, more modern, Ultima Online client. Still need the original art files. https://github.com/ClassicUO/ClassicUO
