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!

"unciv" is a good FOSS Civ V clone! The gameplay is addicting and it runs on anything

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

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

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