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.

At the end of this month, I will be at 2.5 months completely on Linux. The only thing stopping me was simply not knowing that Steam and Proton existed for Linux. I can play the games that matter to me on Linux. Good riddance to Windows!
Do games from other stores such as Epic games work with Proton?
@iamroot @ablackcatstail heroic games launcher supports epic game store and gog and uses proton
This is an amazing effort to bring games to Linux!
