A '''[[wikipedia:Linux distribution|Linux distribution]]''' (commonly called a '''distro''') is a complete operating system built around the Linux kernel. It typically includes system software, libraries, a package manager, and various applications. Distributions vary in purpose, design, and target users, offering different default desktop environments, package formats, and system tools.

;Gaming‑focused distributions

:These distros are crafted to be an all‑in‑one gaming platform. They ship with graphics drivers, Steam, and many popular launchers pre‑installed, and they provide straightforward ways to add emulators.

:A handy way to get started with emulation on any of these is to run '''[https://www.emudeck.com/ EmuDeck]''', an installation script that sets up a complete suite of console emulators.

~~:For a side‑by‑side feature comparison of several gaming‑focused distros, check the '''[https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimeraos/wiki/OS-Comparison ChimeraOS OS‑Comparison page]'''.~~
