In this video, I'll explain everything you need to know to get started with gaming on Linux in simple language. I'll tell you some of the options you have as a Linux gamer and show you how to install games from Steam, GOG or Epic using hands-on examples. As a bonus, I'll give you answers to the most common questions about gaming on Linux. Info: In the last third of the video, there's a small offset between the picture and sound, which must have occurred when YT processed the video. The same video is OK over at Odysee. If it's too annoying, please let me know and I'll re-upload the video.
