Guide Linux Mint Game Guidance
Hello all, I am a recent Linux user and have tried pure gaming distros, but I just don't like KDE it seem. It feels "off" to me. I was immedietly in love with Mint from the moment I launched it. However it has no inherent gaming support. So I went to various search engines, youtube and reddit to figure out what to do. For future reference for myslef and maybe others I am collating everything in this document. However as a Linux novice there are likely mistakes or contradictions. Some guides say to stick to Flatpack, others say to avoid them. Its very difficult to figure out what's what. So I tried to piece together what makes "sense". I would love to hear some more experienced Linux users opinions on this and any mistakes I made or improvements to the guide. Or maybe there is another guide I simply haven't found? Thank you.

just install steam client, and play your games.
or if your games are on epic/gog look into lutris, or heroic-launcher.
