Hi. I’ve been thinking about trying out Linux for a while now (haven’t used it before). I have 1 PC which I share with my son. I mainly use it to browse the web, listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, Office for work, etc. things like that. Those things have good substitutes from what I’ve read, so not an issue. But my son plays video games like The Sims, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley, Roblox, Minecraft, Stellaris, Slime Rancher… and from what I’ve seen it’s kind of difficult to game comfortably (stable) on Linux. As for the distro I was considering Ubuntu. Currently on Windows 10 Home. Looking forward to what you guys have to say. All advice welcome. Thanks.
Others have already advised you on how to run Windows games, but in my experience with these games:
I’ve been playing it just fine on Wine, check EA App on AppDB
The first game has a native Linux version, not sure how the second game runs on Proton
Native Linux
It’s Java so cross-platform, including Linux
Generally you can check ProtonDB for Steam games, and AppDB for others.
