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.

Update: I got space engineers and beamng.drive working it was probably a problem with not having write permission on my hdd(see comment I put above)

I am pretty sure i am running counter strike natively at the moment. How do I change it between running natively and running with proton? I think it might perform better with proton.

If you click settings for the game, and go to "compatibility," you can click the dropdown and choose "Proton Experimental" (or Proton-GE imo). The game will probably need an "update" but it will just take a few seconds.
