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)

  • 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.

To be honest, I mostly play it on Windows, but occasionally launch it on my Linux laptop. My laptop is from 2012, has 4 GB of ram, and is pretty underpowered, so it's slow, but it would probably work pretty well on a properly specced Linux computer. It's a standard Unity game, so I suspect there shouldn't be too many glitches or things that.

It's a super complex game and I quite love playing co-op with my brother. It's easy to spend hours designing all the various sub-systems of a warship only to watch it still fail against the mid-level factions.
