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.

Lol, so defensive.
So the games not running is a problem unique to your system then
thats the furthest from being defensive, more like aggressive against a piece of shit piece of software, but whatever dude
The people trying to help you that you're being so rude to are not the software you're upset with. You shouldn't be taking it out on others; especially not people being kind to you and just trying to help you. (Extra especially considering Beehaw's whole thing is to 'bee nice!')
(something is wrong with the replies, it shows me yours two times so idk whats happening right now, i also replied to the wrong thing just now) i dont see much kindness here, just something i have heard way too much about (not like anybody here knows), but ill stand by the point of the post, if id known the pain going through trying to make things work (and often failing) id have never bothered
