Gaming on Alpine

It is possible to game on Alpine Linux.

Installing games

Like with installing any other package, run the following:

# apk add [game]

Where [game] is the name of the package containing the game, like micro-tetris.

To make sure your account is in the "games" group, run the following:

# adduser youruser games

Log-off and then log back on in order for the changes to take effect. Most games don't require this in order to work.
