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.

I can't believe stock wine is still so bad with so many games. GTA5 is still unplayable with a keyboard, it just freezes for 5 seconds with every single keypress.

I would just run external games through steam with proton if you have those kinds of issues.

You don't even have to do that.

Wine managers like Bottles make it extremely easy to slap on whatever fixes and wine variants you might need.

Yeah for sure, thats better in every way, but if you dont want to install another application thats the easiest way.
