What is your favourite game with native Linux port?
Hello, welcome once again to the world of facts.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
seen a lot of games with native linux ports, always need to use proton because usually the native ones won't even launch successfully. the only one that works almost 100%, golf with your friends.
Tomb Raider 2013. I specifically bought it when it got Linux support. The difference between the Linux and the Windows version are night and day. So much better graphics and performance with Proton.

Interesting to see. The latest Tomb Raiders also have Linux native port, like Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. Maybe they neglected it back then.
The port was done by another developer, Feral. As far as I know they used a tool to port the Direct3D stuff to OpenGL. But nowadays DXVK does the job much better.
But by now the support contract has ran out. So when the Windows version improved the Linux version just stagnated.
I've seen it with Psychonauts 2. I needed to force Proton because FPS drops were horrible.
I had that problem with half life, but they supposedly fixed it in the 25th anniversary update.
Just a small delay. 😉
