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!

A lot of these recommendations are for advanced gamers.

Some more entry level games include Portal and journey.

Slay the spire is also excellent if you like card games.

I loved Slay the Spire but eventually having the same enemies every game and the luck required to build a solid deck wore me out. Luckily I slayed the spire once. It was as the Defect, that's like the easiest build because the automated orbs blast the hell out of everything. But it counts and I can finally rest.

Anyway, looking forward to Spire II, will probably buy it the instant it is available.
