Most of mine have already been mentioned; KSP, Rimworld, Stellaris.
So I'll add one of my all time favourite games and say XCom and XCOM 2. I've sunk hundreds of hours into xcom 2 with various mods.
Close second is Crusader Kings 2, and close third after that is Empire Total War.
And of course CIV. It's not a proper list without CIV.
I would note that Rimworld and Stellaris (for me) run much slower in linux than they do on windows, and they are kind of perforamnce sensitive games.
I hadn't noticed. but I have no real comparison since I was on Linux long before starting either title, so I've never played either on Windows.
They seem to run well enough, so even if its faster on windows and that's the tradeoff for having no Windows in my house, I'm cool with it.
Yeah. Normally I wouldn't care, but when the colonies/galaxies get big, even a 30% TPS hit or whatever starts to feel very painful.
