Today GOL asks: what have you been playing on Linux, and what do you think about it?
I've personally been playing a lot of OpenRA, which I think I may have an addiction to. Really love the classic Westwood RTS games, I just wish the AI was a little better.
We had some fun playing Left 4 Dead 2 last night as well, such a good solid game. Great fun to play with friends, even if we did utterly fail at putting fuel in the car at the end of a certain level. Stupid Tank.
Now that the XCOM 2 patch and DLC is out I am also very much looking forward to getting back to kicking alien ass.
This coming week I am hoping to polish up our statistics page some more and include a resolution picker too. Along with general bug fixing of the website I am also planning to continue rolling out more features and new sections, but more on that later.
So many games, so little time!

.. but I fear I might need to run a Debian derivative, in which case it probably won't be worth the pain and humiliation.
Yes, I second that, it's always painful to need to run a derivative. But in this case, I can comfort you, Divine Divinity totally runs on vanilla Debian!

Path of Exile, and I think it's high time it got a Linux version.

Recently, I played X Rebirth but I got pissed, when I noticed that all resources are limited... Like mentioned by another user, there are occasional graphical errors.
Then I started playing Prison Architect again. I'd like to finally get the "1000 prisoners" achievement :D
And yesterday, I rediscovered the original SPAZ. It works perfectly with a strange 55-FPS-lock (according to Steam overlay). But for me this is fine, because this way my GPU fans don't start running at all!

Diablo III Reaper of Souls. Runs quite well through latest Wine with CSMT.
Terraria - a few lags here and there, but hosting it and playing with 2 family members. Great game that will entertain you for a long time.
Minecraft - performance dropped significantly with opensource drivers
No More Room In Hell - runs better now with opensource drivers IMO, it is a casual game.
Runes Of Magic - runs decently. Not really playing it anymore cuz of Diablo.
Use gallium-nine with Diablo 3. Don't be surprised if your frame rates double. It's my goto when I play Starcraft 2 and Diablo III. Great games, just wish Blizzard was more Linux friendly.

I was trying to play Warframe, but it was a pain in the ass to get to work and when I finally got it up and running their was graphical glitches followed by a full system hang :'(.
I'd like to give the new Unreal Tournament a try. But hopefully it doesn't work too well or I might get addicted like I did for about a decade with the original games :-o.

Unfortunately, I haven't had much time for gaming lately.
I have been playing some Tomb Raider, having a lot of fun. The story is not that great, but the game's overall experience is really enjoyable.
I have been playing some Torchlight - the first one, native, thanks to the Humble Store. It's just the great Diablo-like action we're all craving for ;-)
Finally, I played Dead Island Definitive Edition for one hour and I must say I am satisfied with it. Looking forward to buying Riptide too, as according to many reviewers, it's the one title that shows the most benefits.

In between hitting my car with a sledge hammer and swearing at it(backyard mechanic here), I have been playing mostly Warthunder as of late, I did just recently finish Metro Last Light, good game that, thought some of the missions are confusing as to what you must do...

Before I got into Linux, I played through the entire campaign of the new Tomb Raider on Windows. After it got ported to Linux, I installed it on my system just to see how well it was transferred. I've been enjoying it so much that I'm finding myself playing through the entire campaign once more, but this time on my favorite OS. :)
I also watched the entire Alien franchise for the first time ever - I know, late to the party - and jumped at the chance to purchase Isolation when it went on sale. I've been playing some of that, but not as much. Partially because I'm terrified about confronting the Xenomorph.
