Sorry that you had a bad experience running OpenSimulator under Linux.
I'm not sure of the particulars in your situation, but this is not
generally the case. Many people, including myself, run on Linux 100% of
the time without issue. I am happy that you have found a working
environment for your simulators and that it is serving you well. But, it
would be irresponsible of me to let the statement that running
OpenSimulator on a Linux platform does not work go unchallenged. I'm not
interested in starting a holy war about which OS is better because that
is a personal decision. But, I do not want people looking for
information about getting started with OpenSiumulator to find such
statements about and be led to think that an OpenSimulator/Linux
solution is unworkable. It works very well for multitudes of people. And
if a person is inclined to run Linux there is nothing to prevent them
from having an excellent experience.
