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.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

  • unreasonably realistic open ended post apocalyptic survival simulator roguelike
  • similar to dwarf fortress adventure mode (allegedly, never played it)
  • you will lose 3 weeks of progress
  • every major release makes the game feel like a different game
  • cool lore, even if it changes all the time
  • puts zomboid to shame

Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup

  • the best traditional roguelike
  • extremely focused design
  • tedious features get cut, pure gameplay
  • only (subjective) downside is the game is fairly heavily RNG dependent

Both of them are probably in your distribution repository, dcss may be packaged as "crawl" or "stone-soup".
