Great news! Now if only we could get FreeCol [1] 1.0.0. Or at least 0.12.0. If you like free strategy games or loved the original Sid Meier's Colonization, this is a must-play. [1]: http://www.freecol.org/ .
SuperTuxKart is one of the best examples of how open source software can be on par and even superior to commercial software. As a Linux user I can confidently say that a lot of software for the platform is rough around the edges, but SuperTuxKart is absolutely awesome.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Just seeing the word "tux" reminds me of a lot of really sub-par quality games and applications of ~2003 that people would talk about as if they were just as good as the commercial offerings. People would seriously talk of it being "the year of the linux desktop" and "the year of linux gaming" while trying to claim that tux racer felt like a AAA game. If the best thing the…
It doesn't have to be AAA-worthy, the fact that it's open source is what makes it awesome. If I were looking for something proprietary and more AAA-like, I'd look at 10985 games available on the Steam store that are Linux-compatible (not comparable to 52616 available on Windows, but comparable to 18087 available on macOS).

But there are millions of kart racers out there, and many of them are pretty poor. STK is better than most of them.

I tried unsuccessfully to get a usb Xbox controller to work with this game recently on ubuntu. Never found a workaround to get it to be recognized as a controller or keyboard. I do love this game though!

If you're comparing STK to Mario Kart it's obviously going to lose. But there are millions of kart racers out there, and many of them are pretty poor. STK is better than most of them.
Like the reason "the year of the Linux Desktop" hasn't happened is not explained by pointing out that there are a lot of OSs and Linux is better than most. It hasn't happened because everyone is using Windows and MacOs. If STK isn't comparable to Mario Kart, then it isn't good. Everyone is playing Mario Kart; that's the standard to beat.
The switch would be a great platform to sell a port on.
Devs, Can we get this on the Amazon App Store? I’d love to play it on my kindle fire.
