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.

Over 60% of players of The Sims are women aged 18-24. Only 48% of women in the United States will claim to have ever played a video game in their lives and only 6% call themselves a "gamer." I can't think of an original IP game franchise more successful than The Sims in terms of revenue or copies sold that can claim a female supermajority audience.
It is the official game of chicks.
I wonder what are the percentage of women of any age for The Sims, if it's like 70% or 80% or higher lol
