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.

Same here. I run apps in Heroic games launcher
I use Steam by adding apps as non-steam games and forcing it to use Proton.
Another option. lol
I used it for non-steam games for a while because Lutris is a broken mess
.
I don't think I've installed a single game that I didn't have to fight with for hours to fix the install script
I'm using bottles to run Roon. Works great and was easy.
