LINA Is Not An Acronym Beyond that, LINA takes Linux a giant step closer to ubiquity by allowing you to run Linux applications on any operating system. With LINA installed, you can download and run Linux applications that have been "LINAfied" to make a single installer that works on all platforms. These applications are as easy to install and run as any normal application and are completely integrated with your own operating system, allowing you full access to output and configuration files. More integrated than a traditional virtual operating system and more comprehensive than a traditional virtual machine, LINA combines the best features of traditional cross-platform solutions.
