What we’ve prepared today is a compilation of best Ubuntu games. We’ve already shown you some of the finest titles available for Mac and Windows and now, it’s time to give the Linux distro in question some love. From casual releases to titles offering intensive gameplay, this roster places itself as an essential set of games you should own. Expect to find a lot of popular names from well-known developers on this list.

Valve has been of the opinion that the PC platform should always be kept open. According to Gabe Newell, Microsoft is slowly and steadily taking away this freedom from the users using the Windows platform. Hence the concept of the Steam Machine to fight back this “hostile takeover”.

If you've never tried Linux or are looking for a new distro to try then check out Linux.com's top 7 distro list for 2014. If beauty is what you seek then Bodhi is a good choice as it has modified the Enlightenment window manager into something a little more manageable. For Ubuntu users there are two variants you could try, Xubuntu for desktops and Lubuntu for older less powerful laptops. For the security conscious there is TAILS, which automatically routes traffic through TOR and constantly deletes any tracking info from local storage as well as being specifically designed to run from a bootable USB drive. For the geeky parents out there, or for those looking for a very simple to understand distro is DouDou. It comes preloaded with an array of childrens learning software and Dan's Guardian to somewhat limit internet sites of a nature unsuited for the very young.
