Linux Gaming subspace

I am very excited of the future of Linux gaming so I wanted to create a subspace for it.

Any specific titles you're playing? It can be non-FOSS too.

I've been playing Halo master chief collection (the multiplayer works on linux now!) and Xonotic. Also I am (still) hooked to Hitman 3 Freelancer mode, that creates randomized contracts for you.

I started playing MCC too not long ago. Never played the campaigns so I've started with the first one. With the cursed Halo mod.

More recently I've been trying to get back into Project Zomboid.

Oh man, the Halo campaigns are so good. At least the original trilogy.

I should get more into X4 Foundations again.

I wrote a glowing review of Hogwarts Legacy :)

and having just finished that I started on Red Dead Redemption 2. I am enjoying being referred to as "Mr Morgan" :)

I play OpenRA, an open source Command and Conquer Red Alert remake.

I enjoy playing skirmish mode on Warzone 2100.

Occasionally, 0ad, Battle for Wesnoth, OpenTTD. I have recently also tried out Veloren.

Proton compatibility has gotten so much better over the last couple years. When I switched to Linux a couple years ago it was a coin flip as to whether a game would even run and many of the ones that did would be slow and choppy. Now it's rare to see one that doesn't.

Regarding Proton, definitely more palatable than dual boot. I've seen it work better than the Linux native builds of games as well (i.e. the Shadowrun trilogy).

I play some DOS games on Linux (such as ZZT). I have a few games for Linux such as PySol and amoebax (it does not let you to set the same controls for both players, but if you edit the configuration file then it does, and that is what I did, so that you can vs. yourself), but I had also made up my own such as Free Hero Mesh (a clone of Everett Kaser's MESH:Hero engine; I wanted to play Hero Hearts on Linux and now I can, without needing any proprietary software)
