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.

Just out of curiosity, what games do you play that dont work on linux?
Probably some online multiplayer ones
League of legends, sadly lol. Also a touch of CS, while I haven't tested it, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work
Is this not up to date then? I knew that it was a thing that had worked, based on the previous link but did not think it worked atm. I'll look into the link you sent tho!
The website was last updated 3 weeks ago while the fixes were a few days ago.
That's awesome news! I'm gonna look into this now!
CS2 specifically supports Linux. They have a build just for Linux you can download from Steam.
To be clear Steam will download the Linux build by default on Linux. No user intervention required.
(If you need to for some strange reason you get run the Windows build in Wine via the "Compatibility" menu but that is unlikely to work better than the native build.)
