Gaming on Linux

public:: true

• Gaming in Linux is way better than was before, I would say is easier to be a gamer in a linux machine than in desktop right now.
• Lutris is a front-end to use different systems like wine-ge to help you run the games in linux

  • Installation (in arch)

  • Enable multilib in arch and reboot
    • sudo nvim /etc/pacman.conf
    • uncomment the [multilib] section
    • sudo pacman -Syu to update the system
    • sudo reboot — cause Why not?
  • Install dependencies
