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.

I'm always confused by people saying that Vortex doesn't work on Linux, when I've used it for years now on both my Fedora desktop and my Steam Deck. I didn't even have to do anything outrageous to get it working. Install with Lutris like anything else made for Windows, press play, it works great.
Edit: Realized this sounded maybe judgmental, when I didn't mean it to. Not trying to make anyone feel bad in any way. More like encouragement, because once you get over the hump of figuring out how to use tools like Lutris to run games, running Vortex is the same process.
