Games for Linux
The core of the GNU/Linux operating system, which is currently the most widely used of the free operating systems. The general name does not imply any single "official" configuration of Linux. It is distributed in the form of ready-made distributions. Based on Linux, the popular mobile system Android has been created, and the upcoming Steam Box console from Valve will also operate under its management. Like Mac, Linux is not positioned as a gaming platform; however, games for Linux do exist. The best games for Linux can be downloaded for free and for a fee from the Steam service.
