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,

I started using Linux as my only OS when I was like 15 or so, at the time largely playing Runescape or EVE Online.

Still feel nostalgia for runescape sometimes but then remember the grind, no thanks. EVE is similar too, remember the great times in a fleet but if I go back I then am reminded of all the dull times when not much is happening and I find PvE is so fucking boring in EVE. Even a few things that are fun for half an hour are painfully tedious after 4, and sometimes there isn't even a fleet forming up that day. Albion online I find a similar issue with. I don't really care about solo PvP either.

Can't really say Linux has shaped what I play that much as I have pretty much always been using it since I was making choices of what game to play beyond being limited to the games my dad had bought CDs for.
