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.

But you can do this.
Where are you looking? I see one here
How did you get gog games to play? I tried game hub but it fails to install stuff.
Thanks. So you pronounce your name ni-a or njaaaaaaaa!?
Same. I like it. Does Epic Games too.
Lutris can let you log into your GOG account and install games no issue.
I dont know how it handles updates, but thats only an issue if you're playing a new game, if you're just playing old games like Arcanum, its no issue.
Mesa is half the story, the kernel is outdated too.
