There are games for Linux, you just need to search

Often during the Holy Wars on Windows vs Linux vs Mac, the adherents of the first one choose among many arguments the fact that there are no games under Linux. They are right, there is nothing like the realism of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in this system, but the lack of attention of game developers is made up for by the efforts of enthusiasts, who, although they cannot compete with billion-dollar corporations in terms of technology (although this is not always the case), but often leave behind the most important game parameter - playability, which developers just forget about.

Below we list a few games that have killed more than one Linux man-hour. All of them are free, and also distributed with open source, if that inspires you.

Nexiuz —evidence that «free» does not mean «bad graphics». Most of all, it resembles a series of Unreal or Quake III games. To play, you will need a megascrom PC (GeForce 2, CPU 800MHz and 512Mb RAM). The only disadvantage is that you need to "pull" a 273Mb archive from the Internet. There is also a version for Windows. We also advise you to pay attention to the Sauerbraten game, which really impresses with graphic perfection.

SuperTux is a Super Mario clone game with its amazing gameplay, as well as drawbacks of the graphics engine. Charming Tux, a penguin, runs around in a red hat. For connoisseurs and nostalgic personalities from 20 and above :) There is also a version for Windows.

Supertux-0.3.0-4

TuxRacer is a game of an amazing addictive nature. This particular game is included in most Linux distributions. The point is that you are a Tux penguin, who temporarily descends from the mountain on his belly eating fish on the go. In the Ubuntu distribution, the game is called, by the way, PlanetPenguin Racer.

Frozen Bubble we shoot colored balls from a cannon, killing lines with matching colors.

By the way, if you are a Ubuntu user, then you can install games with simple console commands from standard repositories:

Game Command
Nexuiz sudo apt-get install nexuiz
SuperTux (stable) sudo apt-get install supertux-stable
SuperTux (unstable) sudo apt-get install supertux
Tux Racer sudo apt-get install planetpenguin-racer
Frozen Bubble sudo apt-get install frozen-bubble
