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.

Because they're not earning those millions from users. I have no data to back this up, but I'm sure even the Linux users that do play are less likely to spend money on the game.

Weird. I show up as Nate on my end too (using sync). Not sure why it's different than everyone else but my username is alphapuggle@programming.dev
