Such as? Flight simulator? I don't use google-earth, so I'm curious. For example, these are Mapton's features:
https://mapton.org/features/
Free and Open Source
Runs on Linux, MacOS and Windows
Bookmark support
Image export
Open location in external programs*
Copy location to various formats*
Coordinate transformation*
Chart rendering
Time aware
Measuring tool**
Different map providers*
Google Maps
NASA WorldWind
Open Street Map
OpenLayers
Different map styles*
Many included
Different search engines*
Bookmarks
GeoNames
Google Maps
Nominatim (by OSM)
Light and dark themes
(data) Update manager*
WMS**
* Extensible via plugins
**WorldWind MapEngine only
These are Gnome-maps':
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GNOME_Maps
Browse OpenStreetMap using libchamplain.
Find places with Nominatim service.
Route planning with GraphHopper service.
Find your location with GeoClue service.
Basic editing of OpenStreetMap data: add and edit POIs.
These are Marble's:
Actually, they're too many to list here, so take a look for yourself https://marble.kde.org/features.php

Are the features of Google Earth you use available in this ? -
Zoom Earth - https://zoom.earth/
Free, no account/login needed, Web based no install needed, use menu in top left to select.
I tried it out in Firefox and Opera browsers.

@Kenneth Taylor I don't know if you need google-earth for some specific purpose, but if you don't, you can try Gnome-maps
Open a terminal and type
--- Code: ---sudo apt install gnome-maps
--- End code ---
hit Enter, type in your password when asked, check the info about the install, and if you're ok with it type Y it's around 40mb. Now, wait till the install process finishes and once it does, click on menu and search for it, just type maps, and it should appear, select it and launch it :003:
Read here for more info

There is also Marble which you can install the same way as Gnome-maps
--- Code: ---sudo apt install marble
--- End code ---
And you can use Mapton too, this one can be downloaded as an appimage, which doesn't need to be installed; download, make executable and run! https://bit.ly/mapton-211-appimage which one you decide to use is up to you, just know there are more alternatives
