 ## What are the differences in linux-game-manager and audiogame-manager?
 
 The difference in [audiogame-manager](https://git.stormux.org/storm/audiogame-manager) and linux-game-manager is, linux-game-manager focuses on setting up games that are native to Linux while audiogame-manager focuses on getting Windows based games working in wine. Although the end result looks the same to the end user, lots of things are different under the hood.
