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.

since you switched to linux. how do you use cracks? or did you stop using them?
Did I accidentally time travel to 1999?
why?
I dunno, I thought most gaming pirates these days just use re-packs.
i do use repacks. but cracks arent only for games,i have cracked software.
Pretty sure software repacks exist too. Maybe not as popular as games.
Anyway, I guess I wouldn't know since I just use FOSS instead
I make good money now and buy all my games, but I still apply mods.
Mod manager tools tend to just work on Linux now, thanks to the SteamDeck.
Depends on what you're cracking, but for games there's tons of cracked games that work great on Linux.
