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!

So, you're a tech nerd who wants an addictive game?

Factorio.

Also Satisfactory, but I'm not sure how well it runs on Linux. Fairly sure Factorio will run on just about anything

I've played quite a bit of Satisfactory on Linux. Proton is some amazing stuff.

Also Dyson Sphere Program. They are all amazing factory games, but personally I like DSP the most when playing alone, and Satisfactory for multiplayer. And yes they all run fine on Linux.
