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.

I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux (lemdro.id)

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!

I agree!
Get Freedoom for free or the doom2.wad-file from somewhere, download GZDoom (flatpack), download Brutal Doom and start it with Doom Runner.
Damn, it sounds pretty complicated like this, watch a YouTube-tutorial maybe. It's worth it.

Aah, the good old times. It was my first game to get motion sickness from.

This is the only game to have a permanent shortcut on my desktop.

I play it with some modern tweaks and mods. It's a sure way to get my quick dose of gaming rush.

Same here. I wouldn't consider myself a gamer, but 30 minuten of mindless rippin and tearin every couple of days improves my quality of life significantly. :)
