This is the right answer. CKAN is also on Linux and makes modding a breeze.
Sadly KSP2 does not have a Linux build and also doesn't run well in Proton. But then again, it's also a bit hot garbage.
Good game but I think I would recommend paying through proton anyway because the native realise seems rather forgotten about.
Guess the devs were too focused on trying to make KSP2 less of a clusterfuck
I wouldn't give the original devs a hard time. It seems like they did an amazing job with very few resources. I don't even blame them for releasing a Linux native port as an afterthought, even that is better than most.
I will be very very surprised if KSP2 sees any meaningful improvement before being shut down.
Oh I was meaning to throw shade at the new developers who are running KSP2 into the ground.
I took it as such. :-)
I just wanted to show the original devs a little love.
The games I keep coming back and playing since years are Factorio and Cities Skylines. And Minecraft if you call a Java program native. All because of the vast number of mods that exist. And Dota now and then for playing with friends.
Damn so many great ones to choose from. I am big fan of Paradox strategy games, kinda in that order: Stellaris, Hearts of iron IV and Europa Universalis IV.

Aside from some of the things mentioned here, Death Trash is a pretty neat indev rpg.
I really like Golf With Your Friends.
Mount & Blade Warband is fantastic and I highly recommend it if you haven't played it.
Unrailed! is a neat little coop game to play with friends. If you buy this one on Steam you can use remote play together so only one person in your group needs to buy it.
Ultimate Chicken Horse is fun for a while with friends. Same deal with remote play together with this game.
Both Hotline Miami games are really fun.
Mindustry, sort of like factorio but open source and free on itch. Although you can also buy it on steam
0ad, Wesnoth, Endless Sky, Mindustry
I know you are specifically asking for natives, but with the awesome work Valve has put into proton so many games play well with linux now!
The Talos Principle must be mentioned here. It was the first major game to provide Vulkan support, running just incredibly well.
And of course, Minecraft.
Sounds like non-free data is allowed. Then surely ioQuake is the native game I spent the most time with.

Slay the spire and borderlands 2 are great but borderlands 2 doesn't have all content available on the native port
