I don't know of any native Linux games that are specifically for Arch Linux. Your favourite distro is a bit of a red herring.

Markdown treats a single newline as a space, so that already wrapped text doesn't need to be rewrapped. If you want to have each item on one line, some options:

Two spaces before newline

Foo  << two spaces here
Bar

Yields

Foo
Bar

Backslash before newline

Foo\
Bar

Yields

Foo
Bar

Paragraph Break

Most clients will have a "larger" vertical space if you do this. Use a double newline:

Foo

Bar

Yields

Foo

Bar

Bulleted List

* Foo
* Bar

Yields

  • Foo
  • Bar

I've noticed the slight increase in vertical space when I've used paragraph breaks in Markdown editors in the past and I thought it was some sort of rendering error. I feel like I've unlocked secret knowledge. Thanks for your post!

How's CDDA these days? I jumped ship to CTLG instead and haven't been keeping up with DDA

You can pirate 'em if you're that short on cash. Most of them don't cost too much more than €20. 0 AD is entirely free, along with all of the Super Tux games.

-Find pirating site (I don't really know any lol)
-Download Linux executable (FTL.x86_64)
-Maybe find a way to somehow sandbox it in case that it contains malware
-Enjoy!

I am biased as I have 1400 hours in the game but there is the demo you can try to see if it is to your liking

I started playing stardew Valley recently, great game and manages to run even on my 12 year old laptop

FTL is great. It'll probably run on a toaster. I've also heard that it has a bajillion great mods to play if you get tired of the base game

Free: Battle for Wesnoth is really great, I haven't played it in a long time but it was already great like 10-15 years ago so it's probably even better today, Nethack (if you don't mind the starting difficulty and the "graphics") is also great, VERY complex gameplay but very rewarding if you know it fairly well. Also saw a video of Xonotic today, looks also really good if you're into fast multiplayer arena shooters (Quake-like). Heard positive things about 0 AD as well (Age of Empires-like). All of these are open source and in the extra repository on Arch.

Non-free but really cheap: Stardew Valley is probably great, I've never played it and it doesn't look like my cup of tea but I've only heard positive things plus it's like #1 or #2 rated on Steam, so it must be really good.

Non-free: Stellaris (got into it recently, great game and well-maintained Linux client (not at all common), much better than I expected, VERY complex and content-rich, quite expensive when you want all DLCs. It's like a live service game, you'll pay quite a bit if you want everything, but you also get tons of content). Also, Alien Isolation is one of my favorite single player horror games of all time and it also has a Linux client (which was a surprise for me) but that one is probably outdated and not maintained anymore by now I'd guess (but didn't look it up) so it might be better to play the Windows client via Proton. I'm not up to date on that though - look it up. Oh, and POOLS also has a Linux client, that's a great small walking simulator, "Backrooms"-like, very atmospheric and great visual design.

You could try searching Archive.Org for Linux native games
