Linux

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.

Simple and straight forward app is Bottles, get it on your app store. I was trying to get Farming Simulator 2013 installed and it "just wouldn't install" under lutris so I tried bottles and it worked, just worked. My only issue now is mounting non .iso iso like .ccd .img and one more I can't remember now.

EDIT: Anyone used CDemu to mount .img or .ccd? Does it work? what about converting these files to .iso with ccd2iso or acetoneiso?
