Linux

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.

The performance is really bad though, can't see it improving any time soon. Maybe it has to do with how it relies on wasm.

my experience with it is that it performs significantly better than the official Flash Player

I tried a few games that are considered classics and didn't notice any performance problems, maybe open an issue with a test case?
