I got it working on Ubuntu with Wine using the steps outlined here: rdewalt.substack.com/p/installing...

I'm not sure if Zorin will be a different process, though. Let me know if these steps work or if you run into issues, I'm happy to help debug.
Installing Scrivener on Linux
Authenticated with the License Servers, running the 64-bit versions as well...

Another flashback to when I joined Facebook again after a long time away, and she was the first person I added. So naturally I posted “hi I’m Austin and I’m real” and for some reason people were really suspicious

Flashback to me wife telling me she thought I was made up. She looked at my Instagram and was like “no way is that his real name”.

It’s available to stream! You have to go into special features on Disney+ for the original Star Wars: A New Hope and it’s listed with the director’s commentary and whatnot.

We had a landline phone that was wired to the wall when I was younger, later it was cordless. No cell phone until I was 15 and that was a flip phone with 160-character texts, and we were charged per message or had limited texts per month. No internet on the phone.

We couldn’t look things up as easily. If you were lucky enough to have a computer, it was a desktop PC and internet was slow. Many pages were dubious, and no Wikipedia. If you didn’t have a PC, you could go to a library or ask someone you knew but a lot of questions would just go unanswered.

Exactly! And there's so much depth to it, you can get absolutely *lost* in the various subgenres of metal.
