Hello, I’m interested into some good casula shooter’s that work on linux. My only requirement is that they shouldn’t EVER have to use an external launcher like ea ( have bf3 on steam and the ea launcher just doesn’t wanna work ).
I played games like splitgate, halo infinite and battlebit remastered

Would run and gun games count? If so, I strongly recommend the Neo Geo Metal Slug games. They’re all sold emulated on PC (GOG for the no launcher requirement).
And on a more usual sense of “shooter games”, Saints Row The Third (GOG and Humble Bundle) and UNLOVED (original version is a mod of Doom II afaik). And just a note, Saints Rows The Third, from some tests I did a while back, seems to have a memory leak issue in character customization screens when running under default Wine.
Xonotic, an open-source arena shooter
I can recommend Selaco. It’s built on GZDoom and one of the best shooters I’ve played in the last years.
Ion fury and Hedon are solid too, build engine and gzdoom respectively. Selaco though, sometimes it’s almost hard to believe it’s running on the doom engine.
Agreed, the technical side is super impressive. The 2D character sprites are basically the only constant reminder how old this engine really is.
Ravenfield for cartoony/low poly acradey fun
Operation Harsh Doorstop for something more like Project Reality
Any Boomer Shooters like Dusk, ULTRAKILL, Zortch, Cultic, ROBOQUEST, etc.
Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, miner!

Team Fortress 2
Anger Foot natively supports Linux, and I’d consider the gameplay loop to be pretty casual.
To sum it up, you kick down doors and shoot your way through rooms while having hardcore EDM blasted at you. It has a Hotline Miami vibe to it, but is FPS.
More like this type of game:
Mullet Mad Jack
Post Void
Try Ravenfield. It doesn’t get anymore casual than that. The most fun you can have with a battlefield like game without any of the BS.
Open Arena
This one was a lot of fun, if it’s the one I think it is. Does it have instagib maps where you jump across platforms in space and one hit is one kill? I have very fond memories of that as a kid. Super fun.
Serious Sam
Ofcourse the gane made in my country got recommended.
I finished it already but might be the time to replay it.
If you are talking about multiplayer :
- The Finals
- Insurgency Sandstorm
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
- Hell Let Loose
- CS 2
- No More Room in Hell 1&2
Many options !
Hunt: Showdown isn’t a casual shooter though
