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.

I'm addicted to Minecraft and OSU. Every once in a while I'll play some risk of rain 2
TOME4 it is free (apart from the psychological toll if you play it on rogue-like mode)
Stellaris
Red Alert 2 works on Linux if you're willing to jump through hoops
Good to know
osu! is a free and open source rhythm game. Its pretty much the best pc rhyrhm game.
World of Tanks Blitz.
You either would like it or not. Requires brain to play. Think Call of Duty only fast reflexes and low latency make no difference. Each game is around 10 minutes or less.
It is totally possible to play and enjoy for free, if willing to accumulate cash prior to getting tank at next level.
Free to play.
You will have to use proton. It works with it.

Basically MInecraft for grown ups, also Native Linux available.
but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux
What distro?
Do you know what graphics card you're using?
Fedora and intel iris graphics.
Project zomboid
AAAAXY. It's a really nerdy game where you are in a non-euclidian (escherian) space. I've already poured more than 30 hours into this game. It's available on Linux as a Flatpak (recommended if you don't know which to choose), an AppImage, or a native binary. https://divverent.github.io/aaaaxy (ps. it's open-source)
These are my favorite games:
Hyper Light Drifter
Dark souls 3
Hades
Nier Automata
Control
Everspace
Hollow Knight
BioShock
Bastion
Transistor
Saints Row 3
Osrs and WoW both run on Linux if you want something addictive lol. Bottles seems to work best for battle.net stuff.
The most addictive game is "getting more games". Follow Wario64's discord, check prices at isthereanydeal, get the Epic freebies, mix and match bundles at Fanatical.
At the moment I just picked up thronefall, and really enjoy it. It's great if you like tower defense and city building games, but don't have too much time on your hands to get invested into longer games. The progression system feels good and adds a lot of replayability. It runs perfectly on Linux as well right out of the box!
