I went 100% open source 20 years ago. My entire business is based on using and creating open source software. What are you trying to accomplish?

yes open source is amazing but sometimes the options are limited for example take an look at ReactOS and windows and you see that yes, you can replace windows with an compatible alternative but there features it lacks altough linux is an better alternative it has less games then widnows

I have no interest in games....so that isn't an issue for me. Running windows binaries in an open source OS isn't of any interest to me either....everyone finds their own pace I suppose.

That can be done with mkisofs.

First you mount the iso on a loopback interface. While mounted, you can make changes. Finally, you re-create the bootable iso using mkisofs. You'll need to set the eltorito boot image using the -b flag, eltorito catalog using -c, and several other flags to set up the bootable characteristics of the iso (-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -J -R .) from within the mounted iso filesystem.

If you don't have the eltorito boot file, you can extract it from the original iso using dd.

I have yet to be limited by open source. In one case, I found another developer who had the skills to accomplish what I needed, and it only cost $500 and about 4 days to have that additional code written.

yes sadly some games especialy MMORPGs dont support native linux also yes i own an linux pc but my main one is windows cause i am trying to make an game and want the same expirence as 99% of my users also until there are pcs with linux preinstlalled i think were out of luck but u know what is even more open source? FreeBSD, sony made OrbisOS based on it and didnt have to share an single code file

I'm not offended, I'm just trying to point out that if you can't afford the software you need to accomplish the thing you want to accomplish - piracy isn't your only option.

I got into open source 25 years ago because I was poor and couldn't afford the software necessary to even take my college courses. I found open source alternatives, and many years later I own a software company specializing in open source... Take the leap...or don't, whatever you feel like doing is fine.
