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!

I got steam running and was able to download some games however a decent part of my library doesn’t allow me to download the games and says it’s only compatible on windows. Am I out of luck with those games or am I missing a step. I downloaded some of those same games on my steam deck so I assume i’m missing something just not sure what it is.

In Settings you'll find an option called "Compatibility" here you'll find 2 options, I'll advise the Steam Play for supported titles, but the all other titles option is more desirable, but the results may not be desirable.

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.
