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've always been curious about who the hell runs bizarre antivirus software through Wine, let alone submitting bug reports that lead to real fixes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Probably people in Korea or even nProtect themselves.

That said, fixing a bug related to software incompatibility with Wine might also benefit other applications (since Wine may behave as “expected” as it runs on Windows). This is why they even tested Audacity to run on Wine even that a native Linux version is available.
