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.

Thank you everyone for your insight, comments, and help with the process! I'm started with Fedora, and after some brief confusion between Gnome and Plasma, I'm off! :D

Let me know if you figure out how to get UO working on Wine. I have to use the online client.

Ultima Outlands is the way to go! Here's how to get it going: https://wiki.uooutlands.com/Install_UO_on_Linux

Came here for the wallpaper, saved this reply for the link. I had considered running my own server a while back to be able to play again.

There's a blast from the past; it has to be 30 years since I played UO.

It's free to play with that link! Outlands is like you remember, plus end game
