Game store itch.io has setup a big mixed bundle of all sorts to support 'Racial Justice and Equality' and there's a lot of interesting stuff in it.
This might be the biggest bundle ever, with over 700 items included and a minimum donation amount of only $5. It's a ridiculously good deal and for a charitable cause, with all proceeds being split 50/50 between NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund.
As the bundle page states:
We live in a time of racial injustice, inequality, and police brutality against black people. We hope that everyone takes a stand in any way that they can. We’ve partnered with creators from all across our platform to support organizations that are working directly with those affected.
The bundle quickly smashed through $200K and it's now set a new goal at $500K, given the support it has received I would be surprised if it didn't smash that too. Even more projects are going to be added to the bundle, as the itch founder mentioned on Twitter to expect another 185 projects to be added.
I've had a little look over and it's full of great things. There's quite a few wonderful Linux games included like:
- A Short Hike
- Airships: Conquer the Skies
- Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!
- Democratic Socialism Simulator
- Gladiabots
- Haque
- MidBoss
- Minit
- Overland
- Shipwreck
- Super Hexagon
- Tonight We Riot
- Verdant Skies
- + A great many more
There's also game assets from Kenney, plenty of smaller experimental games, the DragonRuby Game Toolkit from game porter and SDL2 software developer Ryan "Icculus" Gordon and game dev Amir Rajan and the list of included bits goes on for hundreds more. It's an incredible deal.
If you do buy it, the bundle will not instantly add everything to your itch library. Instead, you're given a page where you can select from it so that it doesn't overload you.
See the full charity bundle here where it will be open for another 10 days.
Also remember that itch has an open source client that comes in handy.

QuoteUpdate: The bundle has been a huge success so far and many more developers have submitted their projects. We've added a new round of games & more. All previous and future buyers get instant access. There are now 1,000 projects included.Wow!

Quoting: tuubiThey seem to have also added some interesting Linux games I didn't see there before, like Lenna's Inception and Mewnbase right on the first page. In fact, there were 25 pages of games the last time I looked, and now there's 34 pages. :O
Now 48 pages! I won't play them all, but there's more than 1400 games on the list now :-)

Quoting: NezchanSeveral games aren't working for me, throwing up what seems to be the same error, that I don't have libcrypto so.1.0.0, and some sort of warning about not being able to refresh upload because I haven't bought the game.
This applies so far to Cook Serve Delicious 2, Village Monsters, and Mabel & The Wood.
I note this is from awhile ago, so hopefully @Nezchan has already figured this out, but
Quotelibcrypto so.1.0.0is probably talking about a library from OpenSSL 1.0, which at least on my Ubuntu 18.04 box is at
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and is part of the libssl1.0.0 package and currently at OpenSSL 1.0.2n.If you don't have a copy of OpenSSL 1.0 in your package manager, you may be able to symlink the
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 filename to your currently installed version of OpenSSL and might get some success. If unfamiliar, the symlink would be created with something like:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0Another option might be to symlink from the directory with your newer OpenSSL library to the Steam runtime copy, which on my system is at
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0The games may also want libssl.so.1.0.0, which is another part of OpenSSL and might be fixable in a similar way. You can check for missing libraries, at least that are loaded by the main binary executable by using ldd on that executable, such as with this for Cook Serve Delicious 2:
