[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1302702, member: 141969"] I am reasonably sure that the answer is [b]No[/b] :(. Zorin OS is a Linux distribution, and MP cannot run on Linux. There is a "Windows compatible" OS called [b]ReactOS[/b], which is attempting to reproduce the binary interfaces of Windows but without using any Windows code. It has been in development for nearly 30 years, and still has not reached version 1. :eek: "ExplainingComputers" did a Youtube video on it recently, [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj7JX-LkOrA&pp=ygUTZXhwbGFpbmluZ2NvbXB1dGVycw%3D%3D']this one[/URL]. Some Windows applications do work on ReactOS, but would MP run? Someone needs to try it. You, perhaps? I still run Windows 7 on my HTPC, and Windows 10 on the laptop that I am posting from. I don't anticipate changing from Windows 10 for at least another 10 years. If you are determined to move to Zorin (or another Linux distribution), there is [b]NextPvr[/b], which is similar to MP, is also free for personal use, and is available in both Windows and Linux versions.
