I want to play some Games on Linux?

[Skybear]

I’d like to play some games in Ubuntu but don’t know for safe places to look. The only games I’ve played since I was a teenager, really, has been Mah Jong and Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order. But I’m really enjoying learning Linux and thought I’d add games.

Better in our Linux Gaming subforum, Mike.

I've moved it there.

I also changed the topic of your title, "Games" was bit too general".

Thanks. I’ll figure this out someday. Lol.

The video is about PikaOS, since it's Debian-based a lot of the stuff should be similar to Linux Mint as in how to install Steam, Heroic, etc.

in addition to Steam/GOG, there's also your distro's app software collection - App Center/Discover/etc. I'm rather trash at it but a good game from there is Beyond All Reason (example -->

)

Ubuntu uses Snaps by default, you may run into some performance because Steam as a Snap you will run into some sand-boxing issues but you can try and found out for yourself

I sank thousands upon thousands of hours into strategy and like minded games, so many hours that I dream about playing strategies.
Currently playing Against the Storm and Master of Magic.

Just install Lutris, it lets you connect to your store accounts like steam or epic if you have them, download and play, no special setup required.

Have your GPU driver up to date and that's it.

There are a few free and open source games out there. I installed a couple but haven't got around to playing them yet. 0AD and Xonitic. 0AD is a historic RTS war game kinda like Age of Empires and Xonotic looks similar to Unreal Tournament.
