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.

Idk man a ton of distros don’t even work with steam

Name one. I don't know of any.

I don’t think a single Bethesda release works on Linux

Personally I've never had one not work, and that includes Starfield on launch day.

No PlayStation ports do either iirc

Elder Scrolls on Linux didn't have the stutter it had on Windows at launch. It was literally a better experience and it continues to run great. God of War runs great on Linux. Returnal runs great on Linux.

Seriously, the number one issue for Linux gaming right now is people in comments telling other people it doesn't work.
