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!

Rimworld (Survival. Very quirky, choose your own survival adventure)

Hades. (Made me feel like i was renting video games for the snes and trying to play it all weekend long)

Backpack Hero. (Indie game, bit of tetrising needed, loot adventure with a decent turn based combat for what it is)

Dead Cells. (Lot of humour packed into a metroidvania platformer. Roguelite gives it a lot of replayability. Reminds me of Hades but sidescrolling goodness)

Valheim (Viking survival game. They specifically wanted to go low poly and get the feel of something like OG Tombraider)

I can recommend ein world too. I've spent hundreds of hours with it. The modding community is especially active and the devs are amazing.
