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.

Consider giving Linux gaming a try! That was me until Linux gaming started improving a lot (driven in part by Valve's Steam Deck which runs Linux).
Some if not most of my Steam games work without issue on my Ubuntu, other launchers like Battle.net, Epic's launcher, and Riot's launcher are one-click install with Bottles or Lutris. This year on my Ubuntu 23.04 I've been playing: OW2, Last of Us, Super Meat Boy, SpiritFarer, LoL, F1 2023, Okami, Celeste, A Hat of Time, and Cyberpunk 2077.
