From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you download the installers for these games?

Sadly, no

What's the fuss over an "installer"? You just need a folder with the game's files. If you really insist, that folder can be rolled up into a zip file dot exe.

What I really mean is: can I keep a backup of the game that I can play later without having to use their launcher?
