A beginner-friendly overview of gaming on Linux covering GPU choices (AMD vs Nvidia), recommended Linux distributions (Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch), and the main platforms and tools for running games. Native Linux games offer the best compatibility, while tools like Steam with Proton, Lutris, and Crossover help run Windows titles. AMD GPUs are recommended for easiest setup since drivers are built into the kernel, while Nvidia requires manual driver installation steps that vary by distro. Steam is highlighted as the most important gaming platform, with the Steam Deck running SteamOS (Arch-based) as a related Linux gaming device. GOG is covered as a DRM-free alternative. Crossover is mentioned as a paid compatibility tool with mixed results.
