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.

    Does Minecraft (specifically the Java edition) count as a Linux native game? It’s written in Java, so thus it’s not really “native” to one specific platform.

    It’s always worked perfectly for me on Linux, and have a lot of strong memories with the game. Pair it with something like Prism Launcher for easily installing mods / modpacks / resource packs / etc (which is available on Flathub) and you’ve got a pretty good setup! Though the “official” launcher is available through most package repositories these days as well.

      I was an avid Minecraft player in my teens. It being cross-platform (basically 100 % compatibility) made my switch to Linux quite painless; if Minecraft did not work, I probably wouldn’t install Linux.
