+7 Tips and Tools to Improve Your Gaming Experience on Linux
+======
+
+Thousands of games now work on Linux, thanks to all the new tools available and user experience improvements by the distributions.
+
+Whether you use a mainstream distribution or a [gaming-focused distribution][1], you can enjoy playing games on Linux.
+
+However, there are certain tools, tips, and techniques that you should follow to get a seamless gaming experience. In this article, I shall highlight some of them.
+
+### 1\. Pick the Right Video Game
+
+![][2]
+
+The most important task is to pick a game that you love, and also make sure that it runs on Linux without much hassle.
+
+Suppose you purchase/download a game newly built for Windows, it may fail to work on Linux irrespective of the tool you use. And, you end up getting frustrated thinking " _Linux is not meant for gaming_ "😔
+
+So, how do you do that?
+
+Well, first, check the supported platforms for the game you need to purchase/download. If it mentions Linux/Steam OS, you are good to go.
+
+You may also check if the game exists in the [Steam Deck Verified list][3].
+
+In either case, head to [ProtonDB][4], search for the game, and check its ratings/reviews from other users. You can try the game if the reviews sound convincing (or worth the effort).
+
+### 2\. Do Not Pick a Lesser-Known Distribution
+
+If you are looking for community support or help from your fellow Linux friends, use a Linux distribution that isn't just someone's side project of sort.
+
+I suggest you to pick any of the [best Linux distributions][5] available.
+
+Preferably, a [Long-Term Support][6] edition for a stable experience.
+
+### 3\. Don't Build The Latest & Greatest PC for Linux Gaming
+
+![][7]
+
+I know it sucks to hear this. But, to guarantee maximum compatibility, and a hassle-free experience, it is best to get previous-gen hardware over the current one.
+
+You will also be saving a great deal of money with discounts! Not to forget, you can read up reviews from other PC hardware enthusiasts before deciding.
+
+This would be my recommendation, especially, if the newer hardware released only a couple of months back.
+
+Sure, you can take a leap of faith with the bleeding-edge hardware components. But, games might crash, or act weird in some way (if at all). Not to forget, you may not get reliable reviews on the components to make a wise purchase decision.
+
+### 4\. Enable Steam Play
+
+If you have been a fan of native Linux games, you might want to [install the Steam game store][8] and enable the proton compatibility layer to play Windows-exclusive games on Linux.
+
+You can check ProtonDB or the Steam Deck verified list as mentioned in an earlier tip to make sure the game runs comfortably on Linux.
+
+To go ahead and [enable Steam Play][9] after installing Steam, follow our guide:
+
+![][10]
+
+### 5\. No Steam? No Problem!
+
+Sure, Steam provides a fantastic hassle-free experience across every platform.
+
+But, if you would rather not limit yourself to Steam, but also want to access titles from stores like Epic Games Store, you can install a tool like [Lutris][11].
+
+![][12]
+
+We have a separate in-depth guide to help you [use the Epic Games Store on Linux][13] to explore using the tool (and other alternatives):
+
+![][10]
+
+Fret not, if you prefer DRM-free titles from GOG, we also have a guide to help you use tools like Lutris to play [GOG games on Linux][14]:
+
+![][10]
+
+### 6\. Check Game Performance Using MangoHud
+
+Do you want to monitor your hardware and game performance at the same time?
+
+![][15]
+
+With [MangoHud][16], you can have an overlay displaying **FPS, CPU/GPU temperatures, VRAM usage, and more** , similar to what you get with NVIDIA GeForce Experience or MSI Afterburner on Windows.
+
+Installation is pretty easy with Flatpak and other binaries available for distributions like Fedora, Debian, and Arch. You can explore more about its usage on its [GitHub page][16].
+
+### 7\. Got Gaming Hardware? Configure Them Right Away!
+
+Unfortunately, not every gaming-focused hardware can be tweaked on Linux, at least, not to the same extent as on Windows.
+
+For instance, you can use a GUI tool [piper to configure a gaming mouse][17]:
+
+![][10]
+
+Similarly, if you want to control/tweak lights on Razer devices, you can also do that by following our quick tutorial here:
+
+![][10]
+
+Not just accessories, but need something to help monitor **AIOs** (or cooling hardware) on your PC? You can try [CoolerControl][18] (formerly [Coolero][19]).
+
+It is important to monitor the temperatures of your components to get a smooth gaming experience. So, you can opt for tools like CoolerControl and MangoHud or manually monitor your system resources.
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+In addition to all the above-mentioned tips, you should also tweak the in-game settings to get an immersive experience on your system. Of course, that depends on user preferences. So, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to it.
+
+Not to forget, if you are a newbie, you should not miss reading our [Linux gaming guide][20]:
