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.

Is there a list of games that run smoothly on Linux without native support? (lemmy.ml)

I haven't made the switch yet, and I want to know if Linux can run my favorite games.

Honestly, we're so far that it's easier to look for unsupported games. Those include those with draconian anti cheat (see https://areweanticheatyet.com/) and those that can only be installed with the Windows store like Minecraft Bedrock edition (but for that the Android version works) and Gamepass games.

You can launch Minecraft Bedrock with the mcpelauncher of the Steam Deck or you can use Waydroid.
