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.

TIL Animal Crossing has a fucking NES emulador inside the game that can run any ROM. Why?
You could get special NES items in the game for completing certain tasks. They designed the emulator to work with arbitrary ROMs so they could add ROMs later as part of nintendo promotions and events using the eReader Cards.
These custom items are encoded in a standard format in a user's save file, so you can still visit people's towns and transfer these items around.
