Anyone actually using Unreal on Linux? Or other game engines? What do you recommend?
librw uses it too. It is a almost full re-implementation of the RenderWare engine, used to port GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA Liberty City Stories to Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Mac, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Switch, and Windows. But, of course, Take2 (Rockstar Games' publisher) did not like it being better than their crappy remaster and shut down the project with a lawsuit.

Take-2 files DMCA Takedown notice against re3 (fully reverse engineered GTA III and VC)
The problem there is that the physics engine called Renderware is from Criterion Games and despite being kinda old is still being used and hence cannot be made open source (maybe because of EA). So, to mitigate that problem the devs before making re3 and reVC they make librw as an open source re-implementation of Renderware which is the base of all of this
What are some alternatives?
When comparing OpenAWE and librw you can also consider the following projects:
osgameclones - Open Source Clones of Popular Games
UE4Launcher - The Unofficial Cross-Platform UE4 Launcher
devilution - Diablo devolved - magic behind the 1996 computer game
carnage3d - Reimplementation of Grand Theft Auto 1 [GTA1]
Sourcehold - Open source re-implementation of Stronghold 1
RigelEngine - A modern re-implementation of the classic DOS game Duke Nukem II
