Should be easy enough to program a cli game of this. I'll look into it and update if I should finish something.

It was doable, but it isn't fine tuned. The movement speed is probably strange compared to the original arcades. https://github.com/narshee/Stacker-arcade
Maybe you can find a ROM for Mame.
The arcade game is called "stacker".
It's not something that requires a lot and it's also available in browsers running from any OS.
Here's one (first hit on Google and it has ads). https://www.crazygames.com/game/stack-online
If you ever wanted to learn how to program a game, this would be a great opportunity, but I doubt there's a large audience for this kind of game.
When done in an OS native app it would either be too easy or too hard.
The arcade game has those funky physical buttons that need to be pressed through the layer of dried slush-ice and maybe some people think they're good at it, but it doesn't really take any specific effort.
The thing that is fun is making the player believe that they're close to winning the grand prize, almost gambling depending on how the machine is set up.
Sounds interesting to test my skills in Python, thank you for all the information!
What's the difference?
This doesn't answer the Linux part, but on FDroid there's something similar as "Retro Stack"
