In 2007 you also had all the old Quake1-3 mods, as well as UT99 and UT2003. Also Doom 3. Probably still the best games on Linux imho...

You're right, I forgot. I don't like First Person Shooters (even the original Wolfenstein gave me motion sickness, and I don't have great motor skills), that's why I forgot about those. I've always liked turn-based strategy games, or real time strategy games (at medium or slow speeds, I get destroyed on online matches), puzzle games, point-and-click graphic adventure games, etc... and I distinctly remember searching for those and not finding much back then. I definitely need to give Linux another try, but I don't manage to convince myself to set aside the time (it might be a good investment, though :) )

  Ah, gotcha. Wesnoth and OpenTTD are probably the best Linux has to offer in that area.

  Try Warzone2100. It's quite fun RTS.

  The Humble Store has a number of Linux games: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Humble_Store http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Humble_Store Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a favourite of mine, not sure how easy it is to get a copy of these days though. DEFCON, Darwinia: http://introversion.co.uk/ http://introversion.co.uk/ Wesnoth is a great turn-based strategy game and has an unusual amount of polish for a FOSS game. SpringRTS is a really fun RTS, if you can look past the many bugs in the launcher/lobby: http://springrts.com/ http://springrts.com/

  Crusader Kings 2 has just been ported to Linux. And so will Europa Universalis 4 be. Both are real time strategy games with pausable time. Several good point-and-click adventures have arrived at Linux recent years. One which is available at Steam is The Book of Unwritten Tales.
