Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.

If I wasn't a noob gamer I'd have no use for Windows. Unfortunately I'm too dumb to figure out how to make games work, even on Mint.

In order of easiness:

  • Steam (click and play)
  • Heroic (click and play)
  • Lutris (search the right game entry, then click and play)
  • Bottles (gives you access to some game launchers made for Windows)

I suggest to install all of them with Flatpak to avoid messing up your system different with Wine versions, prefixes and whatnot

It takes less than you think. It's not always windows-easy but a little troubleshooting and googling is usually all it takes. The biggest sticking point is anti-cheat, if the kind of games you like require it.

Wine, lutris and steam are your best friends on linux in terms of gaming

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.
