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.

Does it have to be a VM? Is Steam or Lutris not an option?
@xtapa @shapis Lutris is just wine, so any game using a kernel anti-cheat won't work under Lutris. And most of the games I play aren't steam so it does me little good personally, and many of the steam games I have tried don't work on Linux in spite of steam being installed.
Most anti-cheat doesn't take kindly to running in a VM as well, so if that's the reason it won't work.
