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.

I'm gonna say Valheim, even though the native version doesn't respect your default audio device so it can end up outputting sound to the wrong device at startup, which you can then correct using a volume mixer.

That's the reason why I still play the Windows version via Proton though.

But you were asking for my favorite game with a native Linux port, not for the game with the best Linux port :D

Weirdly, years ago when I last played it, I had to use proton because of performance problems. I have it in the backlog for for quite some time again already and hope I can use it natively with all its glory in 4k now.

Oh, yeah, last time I tried it I had this issue with audio.

Yeah, that works. 😆 Still, I was looking for the almost perfect or even better Linux port compared to Windows's that I have never heard of.

Love a bit of modded valheim but that audio quirk is fucking annoying.

I've not observed the same with other unity games featuring native Linux builds, it's likely specific to the engine version they use?
