About the Operator

• I have been gaming exclusively on PC on Linux — since 1995.
• In the early days mainly DOS and Windows titles thanks to WINE.
• Later mostly native Linux games via Steam, GOG, and other platforms.
• Thanks to Valve and Proton, nowadays nearly all current Windows-only titles run flawlessly on Linux as well.
• There is no game genre I cannot enjoy in some way.
