Linux

Linux is a family of free and open source Unix-like operating systems based on Linus Torvalds' Linux kernel. It is commonly used in servers and in software development. Linux is sometimes called GNU/Linux, because software provided by the GNU Project is often included in Linux distributions.

While Linux is not mentioned anywhere in dat/history in NetHack 3.6.7, line 1, NetHack and most of its variants have been supported on Linux for a long time.

To install NetHack locally, the easiest option is usually using your Linux distribution's package manager.
