For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

It even has Wayland support!

(Version 1.1.77» Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:44 pm)

Graphics

Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

What's yours?

EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.

Doom, of course!

Also, OpenRCT2, and Unreal Tournament.

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?

The original CDs of UT 99 had the linux Binaries on them, but (as mentioned in the UT2004 comment) Atari Castrated the Steam version.

Use https://flathub.org/apps/com.epicgames.ut99 to play UT 99

I see.

Unreal Tournament Launcher by Epic Games

Seems funny to me that's on the Flathub due to this.

Nope, I meant this Doom, whose original source code is here on GitHub.

I'm surprised you've not got OpenRCT2 to work - I'm fairly sure it's in most default repos.

You do need to have a full copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as it uses data / assets from the original game.

I would happily link you to Unreal Tournament, but it's no longer for sale anywhere as far as I'm aware.

Ah, the classic one.

Yeah, I will try again soon. I don't know anything about this game, besides I bought it when discounted and it has RollerCoasters.

Ah... what a shame.
