text: Android gaming Originally derived from Linux, the Android mobile operating system has a distinct and popular gaming ecosystem. It has also been used as the base for several game consoles, such as the Nvidia Shield Portable and the Ouya. Popular games include Pokemon Go, Genshin Impact, League of Legends: Wild Rift, Dead Cells and Call of Duty: Mobile. Certain games, such as Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Papers Please, are available for both Android and desktop Linux.
  ChromeOS gaming
  ChromeOS is another Linux derived operating system by Google for its Chromebooks, and it too has a dedicated gaming ecosystem. Partly owing to a lack of high end graphics hardware, it is especially oriented towards cloud gaming via services like GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming, with models featuring Nvidia GPUs ultimately being cancelled. Numerous games for Android have also been made compatible with ChromeOS, as well as a standard Linux games, Windows games via Wine or Proton, and with browser games also being popular. A version of Steam has been in development for ChromeOS, with third party launchers also available such as the Heroic Games Launcher for the Epic Games Store. Popular titles include Among Us, Genshin Impact, Alto's Odyssey, Roblox, and Fortnite. Skepticism remains for using ChromeOS and Chromebooks as gaming machines.
