Another thing I’ve liked about linux. The community is amazing, and I find games I never would have heard of otherwise! What are some games you’ve found solely because of linux?
For me,
Luanti (voxelibre, mineclone)
Tuxcart
Horripilant
Back in the day I discovered World Of Goo because it was one of the few commercial games with Linux support.
In case you haven’t heard, World of Goo 2 is just coming out! And like their other games, Linux is supported but you can also buy for direct download from them
2 has been out for a while, it’s just coming to Steam
World of goo 3 is also out on steam
What? LOL there’s no 3
I assume you have not played 2
I have not, is this some sort of inside joke?
Mindustry hasn’t been mentioned yet. Open source and Linux native on Steam.
There are so many, it’s pretty awesome.
Tiny list I’ve been enjoying, plus an ancient classic:
Don’t forget:
Edit: format
Lmao, indeed. You can just open up flatpak repo and look through the game categories
It’s been a lot of years since I paid any attention to games that don’t run on linux, but I remember one of the first I found that did was The Ur-Quan Masters — a free (as in GPL) version of one of the best games of the early 1990s.
I started using Linux as my only OS when I was like 15 or so, at the time largely playing Runescape or EVE Online.
Still feel nostalgia for runescape sometimes but then remember the grind, no thanks. EVE is similar too, remember the great times in a fleet but if I go back I then am reminded of all the dull times when not much is happening and I find PvE is so fucking boring in EVE. Even a few things that are fun for half an hour are painfully tedious after 4, and sometimes there isn’t even a fleet forming up that day. Albion online I find a similar issue with. I don’t really care about solo PvP either.
Can’t really say Linux has shaped what I play that much as I have pretty much always been using it since I was making choices of what game to play beyond being limited to the games my dad had bought CDs for.
