Linux Gaming

Space Station 14

Interesting that it hasn't come out yet. Did you play demo / playtest or what? I'm glad to see the Linux version.

X-plane

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.

Super Tux Kart

Yeah, that's the classic one. It would be weird if there wasn't a Linux port for something "Tux" related.

Dota 2

Out of curiosity, did you also test the Windows port? How good is Valve in Linux porting? I tried CS:GO and CS 2 and CS:GO was problematic, while CS 2 is now better for Linux.

The new Valheim update was pretty fun

Has it supported Linux more or just adding more content?

CS2

Yeah, its Linux port is superb now compared to CS:GO.

Rimworld!

I see many of you in the comments section. I will probably try it at some point. :)

Its all about how an application goes from "I would like to display X on a screen" to how X actually gets displayed. Wayland is effectively a language (technically a protocol) that graphical applications can speak to describe how they would like to be drawn. It's then up to a different program more deeply embedded in your OS to listen to and act on those instructions (this program is called a Wayland compositor). There's a lot more to it (handling keyboard input monitor settings, etc), but that's the general idea.

Wayland is a (relatively) new way of thinking about this process, that tries to take into account the wide variety of input and output devices that exist today, and also tries to mitigate some of the security risks that were inherent to previous approaches (before Wayland, it was very easy for one application to "look at" what was being displayed in a completely different app, or even to listen to what keys were being typed even when the app isn't focussed).

Thing is, change is hard, doubly so in the consensus driven world of Linux/FOSS. So, until the last couple of years or so, adoption of Wayland was quite slow. Now we're at the point where most things work at least as well in Wayland, but there's still odd bits of software that either haven't been ported, or that still rely on some features that don't exist in Wayland, often because of the aforementioned security risks.

Hoping to organize some online tournaments. Maybe monthly? Gonna need players :D

Doom

Which one because I don't think this Doom you meant?

OpenRCT2

I tried it to work on Linux but no luck so far. :c

and Unreal Tournament

I see 2nd mention of this game. Could you link it with the Linux native port?
