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 the history file of NetHack, the game 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.
