After Steam officially released its native Linux client I played Half Life 1, 2 and "Brutal Legend" because they all had native Linux ports before proton was a thing. Before that I remember playing games like Sauerbraten (quake like fps), Battle for Wesnoth (my wife and I still play this together), Frozen Bubble, LBreakout2 and several other Linux native games.

Quake III Arena also had a native Linux version.

And Quake, Quake 2, Descent, UT, Tribes 2.

I remember that! I had Unreal Tournament 2004 and it technically had a native Linux version but it wasn't on the CD. You had to extract most of the files from the CD and go download the Linux executable file from the unreal website to drop into the installation folder.

Was not expecting brutal legend to be the game overturning technological norms
