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!

Go with a classic: Minecraft Java. Bonus - use the prism launcher for mod packs. Vanilla MC is kinda boring (at least once you see all the bonkers stuff mods can add, just like Skyrim XD )

I find it difficult to play vanilla Minecraft anymore. Every now and then my niece will ask if I'll play with her, so I'll boot up my switch. Other than that, modded is the way to go. I started shortly after Iskall85 started his single-player Vault Hunters series. Have yet to "finish" any pack, but they're fun!

That's the neat part, you never finish

A lot of the modern packs have quests. It could be considered finished when you complete all of those, which I haven't. Now I'm playing DW20 which doesn't have quests, so I can avoid all those judgemental looks I was giving myself.
