I don't expect to play any big AAA titles but I also remember only having Nethack and tux racer. So I am over the moon being able to play these current titles on Linux.

Caves of Qud, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Rimworld, Oxygen Not Included, Stellaris, Civ, Streets of Rogue, Pillars of Eternity and many more. Those are just my favorites so I hope others will list theirs.

Hey don't forget XBill, Linux game of the year 1994

Rings a faint bell. But one game I loved that I didn't mention was Konquest. It came with KDE on RedHat 6 or 7.

It was a turn based space strategy game. I absolutely loved it and spent a large part of my adult life looking for a modern alternative.

Galcon 2 seems to be a real-time alternative ; not sure if it would match your expectations.

There was also a tank game, and a star trek game where you configure your ship and fight with it (and if you configured max cloaking, you regained energy while cloaked). Good times.

tank game = warzone 2100?

Do you know that wojak meme where a crying guy is wearing a happy mask? That's how I felt playing tux racer in the mid 2000s

Nethack on the other hand...
