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.

You can still play online games. Not all of them, but more than not.
Was more focused on the online games with kernel level anti cheat. But yeah, it's surprising how many online games work. Excluding native games like CS2/CS GO and TF2, I was able to play non-steam online games online like EA's Battlefront 2, OG Battlefront 1, with wine-ge.
