This is the right answer. CKAN is also on Linux and makes modding a breeze.
Sadly KSP2 does not have a Linux build and also doesn't run well in Proton. But then again, it's also a bit hot garbage.
Good game but I think I would recommend paying through proton anyway because the native realise seems rather forgotten about.
Guess the devs were too focused on trying to make KSP2 less of a clusterfuck
I wouldn't give the original devs a hard time. It seems like they did an amazing job with very few resources. I don't even blame them for releasing a Linux native port as an afterthought, even that is better than most.
I will be very very surprised if KSP2 sees any meaningful improvement before being shut down.
Oh I was meaning to throw shade at the new developers who are running KSP2 into the ground.
I took it as such. :-)
I just wanted to show the original devs a little love.
@flibbertigibbet @LlamaSutra yeah I found it to be a much better time through Proton... But then, that seems to be my experience in quite a few games with native versions... 😄
It is honestly astounding what they've done with proton.
@flibbertigibbet What happened?
I mean "good astounding", as in what they've managed to achieve with it.
The games I keep coming back and playing since years are Factorio and Cities Skylines. And Minecraft if you call a Java program native. All because of the vast number of mods that exist. And Dota now and then for playing with friends.
Mindustry, sort of like factorio but open source and free on itch. Although you can also buy it on steam
Damn so many great ones to choose from. I am big fan of Paradox strategy games, kinda in that order: Stellaris, Hearts of iron IV and Europa Universalis IV.
Savage 2 was so good. The memories 😢
Sounds like non-free data is allowed. Then surely ioQuake is the native game I spent the most time with.
I know you are specifically asking for natives, but with the awesome work Valve has put into proton so many games play well with linux now!
The Talos Principle must be mentioned here. It was the first major game to provide Vulkan support, running just incredibly well.
And of course, Minecraft.
0ad, Wesnoth, Endless Sky, Mindustry
I have a long list :)
Dota2 & CS GO Paradox strategy games (JRepin had listed)
Many non-strategy games published (not developed by) by Paradox Interactive are also providing native Linux games, incl. Cities: Skylines, Surviving Mars, Tyranny
I love Dead Cells and me and my wife have been playing a lot of Out of Space lately. Other than that Paradox games are awesome, and one that I've played a lot years and years ago was Project Zomboid. On the more AAA front I loved Deus Ex and Borderlands 2.

Don't know about them being the best, but I've been playing Valheim and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and having a good time with both.
I go back to Battle for Wesnoth a few times a year. There are many new scenarios over the recent years.
