For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

It even has Wayland support!

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.

No Besiege fans in here? Probably the most relaxing way to cause complete chaos and destruction.

You are! I have this game on my wishlist due to reviews and native Linux port.

I quite like Besiege, but I’d probably have to go with From the Depths.

From the Depths

Oh, there is a Linux port. I have never heard of this game, but it seems like some Lego game that you build voxel vehicles. How many hours do you have on Linux with this game?

Over 1000 unique components allow you to build and command voxel vehicles from the deep ocean to outer space!

To be honest, I mostly play it on Windows, but occasionally launch it on my Linux laptop. My laptop is from 2012, has 4 GB of ram, and is pretty underpowered, so it's slow, but it would probably work pretty well on a properly specced Linux computer. It's a standard Unity game, so I suspect there shouldn't be too many glitches or things that.

It's a super complex game and I quite love playing co-op with my brother. It's easy to spend hours designing all the various sub-systems of a warship only to watch it still fail against the mid-level factions.
