    Realistic Progression Zero/One - Career mode for Realism Overhaul

    Modded KSP is a good option. It's available for purchase from https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ , and Linux is supported (I've run it on Linux and it worked fine). You will want to use the Realism Overhaul mod, https://github.com/KSP-RO/RP-0/wiki . You will also need the Principia mod, https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia . If you're interested in pursuing the KSP option, maybe ask over at r/RealSolarSystem too.
