How about my friends from hive, as you know I am a lover of free software, since in a certain way I believe that cryptocurrencies are inspired by this type of development in which there is no company controlling everything and charging for everything that end users want to do

This is something fundamental for the development of applications, although many times these developments run into economic difficulties that mean that a project does not go further than you could go, although there are cases where things look much better and manage to cope with large proprietary projects. , as is the case with blender, which has undoubtedly reached its maximum level of development and that which began as software to create games and then, upon releasing the license, has become one of the greats in 3d animation design.

Today I am not going to get involved in those things but rather in an operating system which I recommend since it is designed for those people who use the PC to play.

It is that steam os is a system based on linux which seeks to be a specialized software to run games under various linux environments, we know that linux has owed a debt to the players since the software was mainly created for development and exploration of applications, but not anymore because with Steam Os everything has changed.

From the support of linux to be able to run programs with NVIDEA chipse perfectly, now linux enters this field of games and thanks to Steam Os plans to achieve it

Pros and Cons of linux to run games

The whores in favor of linux to play would be...

Among the pro we find that linux is very light, therefore in theory the response of the games and the speed of execution should be higher than its rivals, be careful only in theory. since here the optimization of the game for this operating system comes into play
Possibility of using necessary repositories for the execution of said application or game, there are such extreme configurations that if desired in linux we can make it start the pc and start the game automatically.
Being free software we can have control of updates to our pc and therefore stay in a state of repository that we want in a certain way this is beneficial since our system will be stable as long as we do not make updates.

The contras to play and Linux Serian

Lack of drivers for the peripherals that come out, since the support for linux is always the last to be updated or added.
Most of the games and developers decide not to make an executable in linux so our little penguin friend is left without a version of the game in question since the developers are not very interested in this platform.
. Little public acceptance of free software where many things are not automated and have to be configured manually.

Fedora can be said to be another great one that has a great development to be able to play these latest generation games, since the development of fedora is impressive, since it has been on the market for years, so to speak.

And any distribution based on Debian, and if Debian is, in my opinion, the most prepared system and most similar to Windows that exists since it has installable packages very similar to EXEs called Deb

Lakka

Finally I want to talk about Lakka, this turns your PC into a last generation console but with slightly retro games, although I think that with a more powerful PC you can emulate many more powerful consoles, in my case it was not like that and I only managed to emulate PSX now. that my pc was very weak

All the images used and their projects belong to the world of free software, therefore they are free to use, feel free to download them
