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.

For a more gaming-ready experience, Bazzite might suit you:

People seem to love bazzite, is it all its cracked up to be?
I'm happy with my lmde htpc/server/gamingrig/clusterfuck so I'm not planning on changing, but I've been in the market for a handheld gaming PC and its been on my list to try.
No, Bazzite is very hardware dependent. Good if you use the same hardware as the devs. If you don't, it'll make you want to go back to Windows.
The only thing that will get me back on windows is the Net Yaroze SDK which came out for windows 95-XP, I have a period accurate airgapped PC for that stuff though.
