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.

The only game I have ever played is FIFA on a PS4. Now I have a gaming laptop but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux. Appreciate your help in advance!

Steam is probably the best platform for gaming on Linux right now. Here are some games I recommend that run well on Linux:

  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (the spiritual successor of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
  • Romancing SaGa 3 (retro JRPG that involves non-linear, open-world exploration)
  • Octopath Traveler 2 (another JRPG; you don't need to play the first game in the series to enjoy this game)
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution (not a freemium game!)
