Python Program that downloads gaming required packages based on your Linux Distribution.
LibreGaming, Is a program for installing gaming required packages on Linux.
It works by identifying you Linux distribution and based on that info it installs the right packages for you.
Currently supported distributions:
- Ubuntu, of course.
- Arch Linux, because I use Arch btw.
- Fedora.
- And finally OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
The tool also should work on the above distributions derivatives too.
