Games like Little Big Adventure on Linux
3 of the 5 modern alternatives to Little Big Adventure (1994) run on Linux. The cheapest is Anodyne 2: Return to Dust at € 19,50. All of them are made by independent developers.
Linux is unusually strong for classic gaming, because the open-source engine ports that keep old games alive were often written on it. Native builds are common for anything using a community engine, and most of the rest runs through Proton, which is the same technology that powers the Steam Deck.
