From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i tried to pirate games and software on it it was hard to get anything to run.

i think that would make linux not so popular in regions where people depend on piracy.

i want hear your opinions about my point

as far as VST plugins/audio software are concerned, it's great over here, albeit with the usual WINE quirks once in a blue moon. the only thing stopping certain VSTs from working correctly (or in rare cases at all) is WINE. WINE ain't perfect, but is it glorious.

RX10 and SpectraLayers Pro 11 run like a dream too.
