Hello, welcome once again to the world of facts.

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.

    Off the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.

      OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft

      Let me link these, so anyone can check them out!

      1. OpenTTD - amazing reviews for the free game from 14 Mar, 2004.
      2. Dwarf Fortress - bought it, I have not played it yet, though. I know it got Linux port not so long ago.
      3. 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.

        Dwarf Fortress is quite the rabbit hole. It’s so much more than just a game. The complexity of the simulation has actually made me wonder about simulation theory IRL.

        It’s mind blowing.

        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.
