  - Linux Mint for being one of the best alternatives to Windows with having a similar taskbar and start menu, such as what you would see from Windows 7.
  - GameHub being the Linux alternative of GOG Galaxy 2.0
  - Lutris for using WINE and playing Windows-only digital game distribution platforms and games on Linux.
  - Proton for playing Windows-only games directly and supported by Steam and Valve itself.
  - OpenRGB to being the alternative for official RGB software on Windows (many of which are considered bloatware).
  - MangoHUD being the alternative to MSI Afterburner in terms of monitoring statistics, but without the overclocking feature.
  - WattmanGTK and Corectl being alternatives to MSI Afterburner, AMD Wattman, and EVGA Precision X1 for AMD graphics cards.
  - DXVK and vkBasalt for playing games that use DirectX/Direct3D through translation layers.
