I'm starting a business where I buy computer parts and assemble them. I know to distribute it with a copy of windows, I need an OEM license. What about ZorinOS? It looks similar to windows and is completely legal. Is it legal to distribute that pre-installled on the computer, or will I need to do some sort of legal mumbo jumbo

| You're starting a business and are asking (mostly) teenagers for advice? |

You don't even know how to dual boot an OS, and you want to build computers for a living? kek |

@Say,
probably because I've never done that before because I haven't had a need.

">I don't need it so I won't learn it"
Probably a lot of stuff you don't know because you won't need it either. Chill.

I learn anything I can so that when a scenario occurs that I'm not prepared for, I know what to do.
Move on to something else. |

| You have to remember that ZorinOS is not Windows. WINE is not an emulator. The thing is, you are literally installing Linux with WINE - Why not use a different dist? |

Thanks for going completely off topic because your daddy hits you so you decide to go online and act like you're superior to everyone else.
Now if anyone here isn't a total jackarse and is willing to answer the question, that would be fantastic.

Lol you're not going to get anywhere. I'm in my last year for my B.S in Computer Science/Software engineering.
You're going to completely fail with the mindset you have now. |

thanks for your input, idgaf.
This is funded by my school for a Job Training Program. They don't care if we lose money on it. Go somewhere else.

Seriously though - If you are selling computers, the average person would not be able to use Linux or some other distro. Stick to windows or mac, and just charge extra for the price of it, or take the loss. That's what all the computer manufacturers do. |
