Hi,
I am new to the game, never had a chance to play yet. I tried to, and it wouldn't work, just showed a install Java screen. Which I already have installed Java 7 from within my Software Center thing on Zorin OS 9 (a Linux distro). I looked around the net and everything suggests I install the plugin manually, and it's all a major headache, I don't understand what I'm doing and it's scary.
Is there not an easy way to get the plugin to work? The plugin doesn't exist in the browser, and everything suggests that I have to do it manually, I cannot find an easier way on my own. I am still new to Linux myself. I only recently switched from Windows 7 to Mint then from Mint to Deepin, then from Deepin to Zorin OS 9. Zorin is designed to look and function a lot like Windows 7 but with better design language. I know that it's easier on Windows, however for some odd reason when I had a friend build my gaming computer for me, he used a key that eventually became invalid for Windows 7, and when I called Microsoft about it, they said I had to buy a new one - I refused because I already spent a lot on Windows 7 before, when I gave the money to my friend to get it. I came to the conclusion he probably pocketed the money and installed a pirated copy of Windows 7 with a fake key... so, instead of getting a new copy of Windows I decided to switch to Linux.
Is anyone able to help me with this please? Hopefully guide me on what to do, in an easy way, step by step please? I know it can be a bit complicated to get me to understand everything, when it comes to this code centric OS... but I don't intend to be a coder or anything of that nature, so that's why. I can't really help it, my mind isn't able to understand some things very easily. But if you're willing to help me, I'd very much appreciate it.
Note: Some things I may say, might come off as a little bit of an attitude or too direct - but that's because I don't have any proper communication skills, so I don't realize they always come off that way and I don't know how to fix that. It is never my intention to be rude, or disrespectful in any way though, and if you take it that way I am sorry - and no offense is ever intended - I am a neutral person, because of my lack of social skills and I am always trying to improve - I was sheltered at a young age and never really learned those things, please forgive me.
