From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does it work without Microsoft though?

Online mode isn't supported, so it doesn't work with Microsoft.

no unfortunately, that would require me to implement encryption in bash, not nearly insane enough to do that

You can use Minecraft without an account?

I would think so, in the example videos there are players called "sh", which isn't possible with microsofts account names.

That's a teeny tiny bit insane. I love it. Also, after a quick skim, the code's looking very tidy (at least compared to my noob style "good enough for the girls I go out with" code).
