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!

Seriously though.

Minecraft is a perfect entry point for someone who never played. Figuring out the virtual world at your own pace.

Also recommend to play on Peaceful difficulty first - just to get some bearings.

Minecraft is simple, doesn't expect you to have any prior knowledge of gaming whatsoever (literally teaches you to walk and directs you through the gameplay at first), and is a world simplistic enough for you to understand the logic of at first sight.

No wonder modern kids often start out their gaming careers with it.
