Most of the games I play are resource management or base/city building games. I haven't bothered checking if a game works in the last few years, I just fork over my money at this point.
I think the closest to a AAA game was Anno 1800 and Mount&Blade Bannerlord, both worked fine. All the current popular city builders work fine (eg. Timberborn, Foundation, Manor Lords). A lot of the games I play are early access too, or the pre-release stream.
The one game that didn't work was Bongo Cat, which is free anyway. The devs are working on an X11 version though, and it's practically a whimsical keylogger, so it might not appeal to fans of Linux anyway!
I've never even connected the 'X' to the Greek letter chi. I just kinda accepted it as one of many groovy web 2.0 misspellings in search of a domain and trademark.
I noticed a similar thing for Python 3 questions, closed as a duplicate of a Python 2 response. Why they weren't collated and treated as a living document is beyond me.
You can also put the lambda function inside the let function, which is handy.
Also, almost everyone should be using tables instead of ranges. The references are missing a few features, but it makes formulas a brazillion times more readable.
Whenever I read some of these design articles, I usually see this same glaring issue. Without any distinction, they'll present together a grab bag of objective facts, best practices, and simple conventions.
There's nothing objective about using ctrl+s for save, but it's an obvious best practice. So not following can be considered bad design fairly uncontroversially.
The two you mentioned are obviously not in that category. I take issue with the logo one especially, because I find the style of the "bad design" better and more functional.

I'd think passive recognition of a fair few states would be a pretty low bar for relatively educated, English-speaking people. It's a pretty low bar, just placing a region with its country. People also regularly just assume that level of knowledge for globally- or culturally-relevant cities.
Maybe I think too highly of people, but I'd also imagine most would be able to get say... 6/10 right, for which countries the following list is from:
The pronunciation equivalent is called a 'minimal pair' in linguistics. Two words that differ by a single sound, and they're pretty common.
The written equivalent is probably more common in most other languages than in English. English has a relatively 'deep' orthography compared to most languages, ie. the spelling makes no gosh darn sense.
An English example (when spoken) might be 'scanning' versus 'skinning', with very different implications. A vet might scan a dog, but hopefully they wouldn't skin one. I have no idea what 'skinning electron microscopy' could be, either!
