Interestingly, it works with all types of Linux? I'm interested in operating systems, such as Open Suse 11.4?

I experimented with this program, when I have the operating system Windows XP, but now I use the operating system Windows 8.1 and I'm interested to know if there is anyone who uses this program with the same operating system.
