Software developer and artist.
osu! is an amazing rhythm game. Try osu!lazer, it’s the new client: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download
I also like Pioneers and Endless Sky, both space sims.
This might not count, but both Lichess, a chess website, and OGS, a Go website are open source.
There is also Mindustry, but I haven’t played it.
I can recommend Sourcehut, it’s still free right now: sourcehut.org You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn’t a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.
For anyone wanting to put their art under a free license, take a look at CC0
Thank you! It’s very liberating, but also a little bit scary to be fully in control over your life.
I have been doing things because I think other people expect them, not because I actually want to do them. Now figuring out what I should cut out…
I think it’s a little backwards that telemetry is so frowned upon in FOSS programs, because in my eyes they can benefit the most from usage data, as they don’t have the resources for large testing teams. But it needs to be implemented very carefully not to violate GDPR, the GPL license where applicable, etc, so I see why it’s a hard problem to solve.

I like the user experience of two clicks to install and run, it’s feels very smooth.
I had some bugs with the CLI when developing Flatpak applications, but I guess that will be resolved when it gets more refined. I also welcome a central “linux appstore” and more sandboxing features, so my view on Flatpak is that I like it more than most other solutions.
For deleting specifically I use gio trash, it should work on any gnome install.
I’d still consider the game open source, even if the art is copyrighted.
Is there an open source version? It’s a great game (also try the steam edition if you check it out), but I thought it was closed-source.
