Linux

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.

After messing a bit around with bottles, lutris and heroic, I think I had most success with bottles.

Now there's umu launcher in the game too, I'd like to use it in bottles/lutris somehow

Seriously though, I didn't know what it was. I had to look it up: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher
