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've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux (lemdro.id)

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!

"unciv" is a good FOSS Civ V clone! The gameplay is addicting and it runs on anything

[–] fraichu@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Most addictive would be DoTA. You can probably find 10 million player with atleast 5k hours

3 free games I love

RVGL is a classic racing game
Beyond All Reason is a deep and complex RTS
Brogue is a surprisingly accessable traditional roguelike.

Quake 3 Arena or if you don't want to pay/pirate just install openarena. OpenArena should come be in your distros packages

I'm addicted to Minecraft and OSU. Every once in a while I'll play some risk of rain 2

Honestly not sure if Guild Wars 2 works on Linux but if it does... It's free for the core game. Tons of play time there

[–] Kualk@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

It works on proton

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Uh... Tux Racer if it's still on there.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

TOME4 it is free (apart from the psychological toll if you play it on rogue-like mode)
