There are plenty of Linux operating systems specifically for gaming like Steam OS to name one. Let's look at some popular gaming platforms for Linux.

1. Steam

Valve's Steam is the most popular video game distribution service in the world. I personally use Steam on Linux and it works incredibly well. You have the option to play Windows-based games through its Proton software which is still very much in development but can already run a large amount of Windows games on a Linux system. Steam has so much more to offer like their Steam OS based on Debian Linux and the overall software comes with tons of features. Almost every PC gamer uses or used Steam at some point in time.
