From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No you were actually right the first time! I did mean counter strike. Thanks for the help though.

Update: I got beamng.drive to work I haven't tried space engineers although my guess is it will work but without audio (acording to everyone on protondb) whuch is unplayable imo so i will probably use windows for that. The problem was that I didn't have write permissions on my secondary hard drive which is probably linked to my Windows install (I am currently dual booting with two ssd's) so I installed beamng onto my main ssd and everything just worked!

Not sure how to fix the write permission error I've tried launching dolphin with root privileges. At the moment the best solution I can think of is formatting my hdd on Windows and then that may fix it. Although it would be nice if there was a solution without formatting it.
