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)

  • 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.

Fun fact about Minecraft: It's written in Java which is a programming language makes porting to other platforms really easy. The way it works is that it turns the instructions into bytecode that Java Virtual Machine runs, essentially allowing any device with JVM to run it.

And funnily enough they made Bedrock for every device that's not a PC.

I consider Bedrock as the Microsoftified edition of Minecraft. Microtransactions everywhere, halting modding whenever possible, support on all platforms except Linux, no access to previous versions.
