-====== Information ======
-  * Jagex Launcher ((https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/launcher))
-  * Old School RuneScape ((http://oldschool.runescape.com))
-  * This allows running the Jagex Launcher through ''wine'', while keeping OSRS ran natively through ''java''
-  * :!: This is a result of Jagex not caring about Linux users ((Jagex Accounts are an answer to PEBKAC account hijacks, and are being enforced for //all// RuneScape players in the future. You can <del>upgrade</del> switch to a Jagex Account now, but note it is irreversible. Switching to a Jagex Account disables old user/pass logins through RuneScape clients, and requires logging into PC clients through the Jagex Launcher or Steam. Jagex has no plans on providing a native Linux version of the Jagex Launcher even though it's a typical <del>bulky GPU-eating overkill</del> Electron app, and have no problem providing a native macOS client. All Jagex would have to do is press a button to compile a Linux version and provide it to players in a ''tar.gz'' like Discord does their client, and if Discord can get away with that so can a company charging close to AAA MMORPG monthly subscription prices so shamelessly :p))
-  * Jagex Launcher in this context is used for the account authentication, and passes the log-in session data to the OSRS client
-  * Jagex Launcher can be closed after pressing ''Play'' and the OSRS client window appears ((the log-in session carries over through world switches and even log-outs; Jagex Launcher only needs re-opened if you close the OSRS client window))
