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!

After spending hours on shooters and strategy games involving a lot of thought, it's nice to hop into something therapeutic like powerwash simulator. I found it to be one of my favourite games, alongside the Portal series and Superluminal.

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

Quake 3 Arena or if you don't want to pay/pirate just install openarena. OpenArena should come be in your distros packages

TOME4 it is free (apart from the psychological toll if you play it on rogue-like mode)

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
