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.
UT2004

Unreal Tournament 2004? Since when has it native Linux port?
Since release.
Why system requirements say something different on their Steam Page? What am I missing?
You are missing that Atari castrated the Steam version since Steam is only windows (at that time) they thought they wouldn’t need to ship the linux binaries with the downloadable version of UT2k4.
So you get the following options:
- Use the UT2k4 linux setup from the original dvd
- run UT2k4 via wine/proton
- use the Flatpak launcher, copy the gog/steam data into the appropriate folder (the flatpak runner will tell you where)
via the latter I got this:
Everything that is good about 90s FPS crammed into one free download.

Never played it but totally agree!
The thing I love more about the Cube series is that it introduced me to Marc A. Pullen
Isn’t that open source?
Yes, it’s glorious 🤗
I prefer actioncube
@Psyhackological @play0ad 's #0AD game has to be my favorite
Ah I heard of it. It’s also open source. :)
@Psyhackological yup, playing it tonight
Open source, more modern, Ultima Online client. Still need the original art files. https://github.com/ClassicUO/ClassicUO
Heroes of Might and Magic II, using the fheroes2 recreation engine.
Also HOMM3 using VCMI
Wow, there’s even the III.
So many great open-source recreations I see!
Doom, of course!
Also, OpenRCT2, and Unreal Tournament.
The original CDs of UT 99 had the linux Binaries on them, but (as mentioned in the UT2004 comment) Atari Castrated the Steam version.
Use https://flathub.org/apps/com.epicgames.ut99 to play UT 99
I see.
Unreal Tournament Launcher by Epic Games
Seems funny to me that’s on the Flathub due to this.
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.
Rimworld.
Many Rimworld I see! How many hours do you have in it on Linux?
Maybe a hundred? And about as much mods, no problems (aside of incompabilities between mods).
Team fortress 2
Portal 2, one of the best games, good story, excellent gameplay, excellent coop, good performance.
Strongly agree. I also tried to play Portal Reloaded on Linux, but I had some performance and dual monitor issues.
Portal Revolution has a native build and it works great, highly recommend!
I know, but I had some issues on PopOS 22.04 (Nvidia) X11 with Dual Monitor setup. :c
I will probably come back to it, though.
This is the one
Xonotic?
Got back into it the other day and it’s still everything I love about it!
Looks great, thanks!
There are dozens of us!
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”.
Ark survival evolved is one of my personal favorites
Sure, but I don’t see any native Linux port. Only Windows and macOS.
it used to have one though; don’t just look at the Steam Page :)
I see!
One of them would have to be Life is Strange 1, it’s a pretty good port and honestly it’s one of my fav games of all time.
I completed it on Windows before I knew what Linux was. I didn’t know there was a native Linux port, thanks!
Terraria
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!
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.
@Psyhackological , the original Kerbal Space Program.
deleted by creator
@ssj2marx , I hear you. Only made it to the “backyard” myself, i.e. Mun and Minmus.
So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.
“Hey let’s make a game for nerds and ignore the OS with a dramatically higher uptake among nerds”
@rbos , absolutely! The original was available on Linux in short order. KSP2, if it ever gets finished (!)? I’m losing hope…
