I’ve been dual booting Ubuntu and Windows for a good few years now. I keep the windows around for gaming, because, ahem, I don’t like giving EA, among others, money. I know it’s not a problem to play most of the games I’ve paid for on Linux, but does anyone have experience with playing games on Linux that you’ve, somehow, obtained for free? And keeping them updated, too?

I’m still going to dual boot because keeping my games separate from my work is a decent adhd strategy for me, so I’m open to gaming friendly OS suggestions as well!

    You know I was reading this too, but you actually need some sort of launcher like Lutris or Heroic launcher which comes with Wine and does some setting up. Possible to run just purely through Wine (I did this at start) but the results are… not that great. Though might depend on the game.
