The penultimate list of Free Linux games, with over 100 titles (and most of 'em work on Windows too) (www.reddit.com)

This list is a little old, so some of the links may not work anymore, but overall it's still a pretty solid compendium for any budget concious Linux (or Windows) gamer!

Mind you, I’m 100% okay with using penultimate to mean second best,

That was my intended use of the word, but I'm not ashamed to admit that I fully misread the little info blurb in my search engine, which led me to believe I was using it appropriately 😅

I thought it said: a formal or literary way of saying it is not a superlative or beyond ultimate, as many people think.

...I didn't notice the period after 'it' (or the double 'it'). But the sentence right after that one is really the pièce de résistance! 🤌

But I very much appreciate your charitable view on my fumble.

Well hell, that's just as cool as using a word in a fun way. You looked it up and just got steered wrong by difficult typesetting. My dyslexic ass would have gotten the same impression as you if I had to scan that on my own and come out with a definition.
