Windows. I also got a program that fools programs into thinking I
am running windows, so I can use any windows program on Linux (except
iTunes, it recognizes I'm using Linux for some reason ). So, here it is:

Why are you using wine? Why don't you just find the great open source alternatives that you can run faster without emulation? I like to see you're using gnome but why in god's name did you choose to use Fedora? It isn't even a real distro.

You take a screenshot of it (print screen button, upper right), go into ms paint, paste it, save it, host it, post it.

crashed and my friend had the disks laying around, and I dont have a
windows CD. And find me an open source alternative to steam and I will stop using emulators.
