The Humble Store has a number of Linux games: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Humble_Store
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a favourite of mine, not sure how easy it is to get a copy of these days though.
DEFCON, Darwinia: http://introversion.co.uk/
Wesnoth is a great turn-based strategy game and has an unusual amount of polish for a FOSS game.
SpringRTS is a really fun RTS, if you can look past the many bugs in the launcher/lobby: http://springrts.com/

Try Warzone2100. It's quite fun RTS.
I don't like First Person Shooters (even the original Wolfenstein gave me motion sickness, and I don't have great motor skills), that's why I forgot about those.
I've always liked turn-based strategy games, or real time strategy games (at medium or slow speeds, I get destroyed on online matches), puzzle games, point-and-click graphic adventure games, etc... and I distinctly remember searching for those and not finding much back then.
I definitely need to give Linux another try, but I don't manage to convince myself to set aside the time (it might be a good investment, though :) )
