What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam

    command and conquer remastered.

    Why not start with the best, greatest, and one of the progenitors of the entire genre?

      Also worth noting OpenRA openra.net if you want a FOSS variation you can try out for free - it’s a open source engine for the C&C Red Alert games.

      May also be worth looking at the FOSS Warzone 2100 wz2100.net - If you’re on Linux, it’s likely in your distro’s package manager already.
