Had a class in university where we used some weird c written model running on "Linux".
The Lecturer actually used Opensuse Leap XCGE or something, the ugliest distro I ever saw hahahah. The software was not installable at all, even after trying everything.
They provided a VirtualBox image for the people not having native Linux. But Virtualbox doesnt run on Fedora without weird kernel mods.
So in the end I would have needed to use Windows to use Virtualbox with Linux hahahah wtf
