Using Dolphin on Linux

Typically we do tutorials for the windows folks out there, but today we're swapping over to the free-world side of things. We're going to show how to install and run Dolphin on Linux.

Keep in mind, this is a good bit more advanced that the windows method, however, it has the benefit of allowing you to use the very most recent version of Dolphin (the one the developers are actively working on, as opposed to windows where you typically download one from several days in the past)

Also, just a warning. You are going to have SERIOUS PROBLEMS using dolphin on Linux. Dolphin is not even stable on windows (and that's what most of the developers use), let alone on Linux. You will have problems with crashing, freezing, compatibility, speed - the whole 9 yards.
Most particularly, the crashing. Don't even bother using the STOP button, just SIGINT it, because it will crash if you press it.

@MrSebzi Actually, Linux is a kernal. Ubuntu, Arch, and Gentoo are all Operating Systems based on the Linux kernal and GNU Userland.

very nice nitroroms, and I hate to be "that guy" but, I am John Q computer dunce, and I just want to play video games; when will you make this simpler? It took me 3 hours, nearly 3 hours, just to get a Dreamcast emulator running and even then I needed help.

this stuff here just looks way out of my league.
