@kde@floss.social@kde@lemmy.kde.social Pretty sure KPatience is the game I play most of the time because I struggle to start new games a lot lately… oh and sometimes gnome 2048 I guess, hope that doesn’t revoke my KDE Shill License :3
Not free and open source games but I think the guide should focus more on Steam Play (maybe even show a video of how just clicking play works on a AAA game) and Heroic for Epic Games (Many people may have free games they acquired from Epic Games)
Minecraft is not free and open source software though.
Check out @Minetest. Apart from FLOSS, it is much more extensible, making it not only great for creating a wide variety of derivative games, but also a better educational and collaborative tool than Minecraft.
Agreed 👍 . And most of the games you can play on Steam are also not open source, but read the question again: KDE is asking in this concrete case for more FLOSS software that you think deserves being boosted.
My apologies. In no way was I trying to undermine your answer. I was trying to point out (maybe clumsily and untactfully) that Minecraft was not open source, so it did not fit the question. That is all.
@kde@floss.social@kde@lemmy.kde.social Heroic Launcher (an open source client for epic, Amazon games and gog)
BAR - Beyond all Reason (sci-fi RTS built on the open source spring engine)
Ultrastar Deluxe (Karaoke-Partygame, similar to SingStar, but extensible with new songs through simple text files)
@kde@kde Do you have something for android games emulation?
On windows, LDPlayer works pretty well, but I couldn’t get it to work through Bottles on linux.
@kde@lemmy.kde.social
Help us improve our guide! What free and open source #games or utilities do you recommend?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
My vote goes to @Minetest (https://www.minetest.net/) and 0 A.D. (https://play0ad.com/) two criminally underrated games that deserve much more exposure.
#minetest #0AD #linuxgaming
@Bro666
I’m unfamiliar with 0 A.D., though as an on again off again Minecraft player for over a decade now I 110% agree minetest needs more exposure
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @Minetest
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social games? 0a.d. or minetest, sometimes playing other things but in browser. Idk

@mitsunee @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah, i also downloaded gnome game package…
@mitsunee @kde @kde
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
https://www.beyondallreason.info/ is a really really good floss rts game and i would mention lutris at same time as bottles as they both do pretty much the same thing and lurtris can even handle emulation, which i think bottles cant
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social SuperTuxKart! Also I think you could also highlight emulators.

@kde @kde Maybe recommend @PrismLauncher ? Its using Qt and Minecraft is very popular.

It’s a treasure.

I think @veloren could be a good mention.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Mangohud is really good. And for me the top video is a bit laggy on Firefox.

@kde @kde Zero-K, greatest RTS of all time
