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,

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

The incredible CrossCode! Absolute gem of a game I wouldn’t have discovered eight eyars back if they didn’t have any Linux support.

There are so many, it’s pretty awesome.

Tiny list I’ve been enjoying, plus an ancient classic:

  1. The Battle for Wesnoth
  2. 0 A.D.
  3. DOOM the Roguelike
  4. Nethack

XONOTIC! Its a great little arena shooter that’s only flaw is the low playerbase.

More people playing near me means I don’t need to join the 160ms ping server lol.

Warsow is also in this boat. Kinda like Quake, but low player-base

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.
