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.

why games get windows 3.1? Lot of steam games work well on Linux some even work better than on windows 10.
Windows 3.1 can not play any game developed in the past 20 years or so.
Maybe that’s just me, but my games won’t run. Probably because of DRM or anti cheat I don’t know. Anyway I keep a windows computer for gaming and I wouldn’t want to.
You can check on ProtonDB if it's just you: https://www.protondb.com/
Thanks 🙂
