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!

Surprised no one has said it, but Minecraft. I love it as much now as I did when I was 12. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it, especially if you start playing with mods. Then there's servers such as Hypixel which for all intents and purposes are an entirely separate game in and of themselves.

I'm sure part of it is nostalgia, some of my fondest gaming memories were playing Minecraft with friends, but I still find it to be an excellent way to relax.

(Tangentially related, anyone else remember when waiting 3 months for 1.2.5 > 1.3 was an absurdly long update time for the game? Different times.)

Honestly not sure if Guild Wars 2 works on Linux but if it does... It's free for the core game. Tons of play time there

Xonotic is a fun first person shooter, with gameplay similar to quake. It's awesome if you have a bunch of friends that just want to jump right into action amd random weapon upgrades

[–] steeznson 2 points 8 months ago

+1 for xonotic - runs on a potato, great gameplay, fairly pooulated servers
