I used to wonder why someone didn’t just make a Linux distro that could natively run Windows programs until the whole copyright shit was explained to me; can’t incorporate DirectX and other crap without permission yadda yadda…

Now I just wonder why someone hasn’t done it anyway just because fuck Microsoft and because if they don’t even distribute it, how would they have actually broken a law? Make the world’s most perfect OS; and then keep it to yourself. Be a sick flex.

Or just do what other people breaking the law do and release it entirely anonymously via torrent, once it’s out there it’s out there.

Don’t even have a website or explain anything, just dump it on pirate Bay and let word of mouth do the rest.

I bet there is such a distro being kept hidden from us. I wouldn’t be surprised. Even if it isn’t public, someone probably tried doing it for his own personal sake.

It’s just really hard. Valve has been throwing money at the problem for like 10 years now and still hasn’t gotten it right.
