For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

What's yours?

EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.

The port was done by another developer, Feral. As far as I know they used a tool to port the Direct3D stuff to OpenGL. But nowadays DXVK does the job much better.

But by now the support contract has ran out. So when the Windows version improved the Linux version just stagnated.
