Let's leave Steam and other launchers and distribution platforms alone a bit. Also lets stop discussing game engines for moment ...

  • What are your favorite games that run natively on Linux and what genre are they?

Would be cool if you could write a few words about the game and why it's your favorite game.

Battle for Wesnoth!

Fantasy themed turn based strategy game with simple mechanics. And it's (probably) already in your repo! Ships with some good campaigns, some not so good, but there's more floating around.

I'm mostly an fps-rpg guy but when I get a tactical itch it's hard to do better honestly. I unapologetically save scum my way through it and have a blast.
