Another thing I've liked about linux. The community is amazing, and I find games I never would have heard of otherwise! What are some games you've found solely because of linux?

For me,

Ahh, yea. Fighting like SF or MK is a tough one for sure.

Although some might be web-based and not necessarily native to Linux, Itch.io does have a large pool of jRPGs, and the RPGMaker communities have a lot of hidden gems, as well. Might be worth a shot, but there will obviously be some less-than-interesting ones along the way, too. They can't all be zingers.

There's one fairly big rhythm game for Linux that I can't for the life of me remember. I'll try to find it and link, but I think it was posted on Lemmy not too long ago. There's also Clone Hero that might be of interest if you have guitar controllers.
