“I am not a serious gamer at all. If you want to see me
totally disoriented, play an FPS game in front of me. But then
there are always these silly games for people like me. Here is a
quick list of my favorite time wasters or puzzle games or whatever
you call it.

“Pingus
“Pingus is my favorite time pass in Ubuntu. It is a simple puzzle
game that almost everyone will love. It is quite addictive I should
say. And you don’t have to be a “Gamer” to play it. It is available
by default in almost all Linux distros I believe. If you are an
Ubuntu user(or any other distro using debain package management),
click here to install Pingus.”
