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

os? fs? what was the result of changing the proton version? did you try proton-GE or umu? did you run it without a launcher? did you try running it directly through the terminal? what did the steam logs say? what did the heroic logs say? did you install the windows and linux versions separately? if not, did you install it on linux or windows first?

fs as in file system, you answered ntfs. that's a red flag. what version of ubuntu? so you used lutris too? what was the log output from lutris? so it did start with wine but there was no video? which version of wine? do you have dxvk installed? what was the log output from wine?

don't run applications installed in another operating system on linux. it will not work. use a separate application instance.
