here are many Linux distributions out there that claim to provide a seamless gaming experience like a Windows PC. Apart from gaming, Linux users often turn to Windows for performing some specific job or running an application that’s unavailable on Linux platform.

To solve this problem, Robolinux was created with a deep integration with Windows operating system. This Linux distribution tries to find a balance that’s very tricky.

The latest release of this operating system i.e. Robolinux 8.5 LTS “Raptor” is based on the latest Debian Linux repositories and available for download.

This release is available in Cinnamon, Mate, Xfce, and LXDE versions. One of the biggest changes in Robolinux 8.5 LTS “Raptor” release comes in the form of a free OS installer that one can download from SourceForge.

Robolinux 8.5 is built by keeping the gaming community in mind and the latest release will impress Linux beginners and advanced users equally.

With the addition of Steam client for Linux, Robolinux serves the needs of those who are willing to play games on their Linux machine.
