I’ve been using Linux Mint as my main home desktop for 11 years now and as of about a month ago I finally got rid of Windows. The two things that were holding me back were gaming and Overdrive ebooks.

Linux gaming has come a LONG way and it now works good enough for me to ditch Windows. I successfully got most games working:

• Steam – most games work
• Epic Games, Ubisoft, GOG, via Lutris
• Amazon Gaming via Nile – not elegant, but it works

As for Overdrive, I found Knock on github – it will take the downloaded .acsm file and download the epub file. I originally got Adobe Digital Editions installed and it worked, but Knock is much easier. I just put the knock executable into my ~/bin and once I download the .acsm file I run knock on it. UPDATE: I can’t find the Knock github repo anymore – here is the archive of it: https://web.archive.org/web/20221016154220/https://github.com/BentonEdmondson/knock
