- RVGL is a classic racing game
- Beyond All Reason is a deep and complex RTS
- Brogue is a surprisingly accessable traditional roguelike.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"unciv" is a good FOSS Civ V clone! The gameplay is addicting and it runs on anything
Most addictive would be DoTA. You can probably find 10 million player with atleast 5k hours
Classicube for that simple block-building itch
Whatever floats your boat.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Honestly not sure if Guild Wars 2 works on Linux but if it does... It's free for the core game. Tons of play time there
It works on proton
dead cells, holy shit this game i can't stop it lol, osu! too but only if you like rhythm games and factorio if you like building industries i guess
I'm addicted to Minecraft and OSU. Every once in a while I'll play some risk of rain 2
Quake 3 Arena or if you don't want to pay/pirate just install openarena. OpenArena should come be in your distros packages
Uh... Tux Racer if it's still on there.
TOME4 it is free (apart from the psychological toll if you play it on rogue-like mode)
Bloons Tower Defense 6
Xonotic is a fun first person shooter, with gameplay similar to quake. It's awesome if you have a bunch of friends that just want to jump right into action amd random weapon upgrades
+1 for xonotic - runs on a potato, great gameplay, fairly pooulated servers
