## What it is
Kisak-Strike (Gentoo Offensive) is a fully open-source rebuild of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's Source engine codebase, targeted at Linux users. It builds with CMake against open-source libraries and requires original CSGO game assets downloaded from Steam depots to run.

## Use cases
- play csgo on linux with an open-source engine build
- build the source engine from source code
- mod or hack on the csgo engine codebase
- run csgo without proprietary valve binaries
- study how the source engine works internally
- port csgo to unsupported linux distributions

## When to choose
- you want a 100% open-source CSGO build on Linux
- you want to modify or study the Source engine source code
- you're on a distro where official Steam CSGO is problematic

## When to avoid
- you just want to play CSGO/CS2 casually - use the official Steam client
- you need anti-cheat protected official matchmaking
- you're not comfortable compiling large C++ projects and fetching game assets from Steam depots

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: gaming-tools, operating-systems
