Linux booting is a complex process compared to other operating systems. The Linux Kernel accepts many parameters during boot, passed through the command line, which provide essential information to the kernel at system startup.

Think of these parameters as special instructions you give to the kernel before it even starts running the operating system.

With them, you can tell the kernel:

which disk contains your root filesystem?
how much memory to use?
whether to load certain hardware features.
or even how to handle errors during startup.
Without them, the kernel would not know how to properly initialize the system.

Want to play Windows games on your Linux system but not sure where to begin? Heard that some Linux distros are better optimized for gaming but don’t know which ones to pick? Don’t worry, here’s a guide to the five best Linux distros that make running Windows games smooth and hassle-free.

The good news is that gaming on Linux has improved dramatically in recent years.

In fact, nearly 80% of the most popular Windows games now run on Linux with little to no extra effort.

Now, technically, you can install almost any Linux distro and get gaming to work with a few tweaks. But let’s be honest, if you’re just starting out or you simply want something that “just works”, you don’t want to spend hours configuring drivers, gaming tools, and compatibility settings.
