From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

3 free games I love
- RVGL is a classic racing game
- Beyond All Reason is a deep and complex RTS
- Brogue is a surprisingly accessable traditional roguelike.
Not really sure what would be your type of game but here's some that I've played that I found addicting, from various genres. All of these are on Steam and I've played on Linux.
Definitely look at Portal 2. Great game that's easy to get into.
If you played and liked Portal 2, also take a look at Portal, The Talos Principle, and Q.U.B.E. (I probably can't go wrong recommending puzzle games)
Maybe also Mirror's Edge (2008).
Baldur's Gate 3 is one I've put a lot of time into recently.
Chill exploration game that I couldn't put down and am still obsessed with: INFRA
If you think you could like base builder games: RimWorld, Factorio, Satisfactory
And then some absolute PC classics: Half-Life (1998, or you can also play the remake Black Mesa), System Shock (play the 2023 remake), Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
if you liked portal, have you ever played superliminal or viewfinder?
Whatever floats your boat.

Classicube for that simple block-building itch
Honestly not sure if Guild Wars 2 works on Linux but if it does... It's free for the core game. Tons of play time there

dead cells, holy shit this game i can't stop it lol, osu! too but only if you like rhythm games and factorio if you like building industries i guess
TOME4 it is free (apart from the psychological toll if you play it on rogue-like mode)
Uh... Tux Racer if it's still on there.
Xonotic is a fun first person shooter, with gameplay similar to quake. It's awesome if you have a bunch of friends that just want to jump right into action amd random weapon upgrades
+1 for xonotic - runs on a potato, great gameplay, fairly pooulated servers
I'm addicted to Minecraft and OSU. Every once in a while I'll play some risk of rain 2
Bloons Tower Defense 6
Quake 3 Arena or if you don't want to pay/pirate just install openarena. OpenArena should come be in your distros packages
