My daughter wants to play Sims 3 and use her Zune. I'm sure it's possible to do both with enough work and time spent tracking down old utilities but how much time do I want to spend on that when I could just crank out a VM.

I remember Zune did not play well with Linux at all. One time I plugged my Zune into a Linux laptop just hoping to charge it. From that point on, until I plugged it back into a Windows PC, the Zune would play one song then skip the next two. As in track 1, 4, 7, then roll over to 2, 5, 8, etc.

That was the only problem I had with my Zune though, RIP Zune, you were the best.

Oh wait except for the leap year glitch. Microsoft apparently didn't think people would still use Zune in 2008 so all the Zunes stopped working for the duration of the leap day lol.

People who come here to say Linux is not good or that this community is an echo chamber and get mad for pointing out obvious flaws in the OS miss two things:

  1. The post is an opinion of someone. Notice the "I" in the title? That should give you some clue.

  2. You are offended when people suggest that you learn and adapt to the OS, but you suggest that Linux should support your workflow without any effort on your part to learn the OS. Which is hypocritical to say the least.
