I think the question is very simple and kind of speaks for itself, so it won´t need too much explaining. Is there a way to TAS on a Linux computer and if so how?
How can I help you King Dedede? I need a monster that can help me get Kirby. That´s what we do best at NME. You better give it with a money-back guarantee!

Some of the emulators have Linux builds, although the particular ones elude me right now. Likely your best option would be to load the Windows-x86 versions of the emulators in a wrapper like Wine.

Short answer: Yes it is. Long answer: It depends on the emulated system (some emulators won't work on Linux at all). Then there are cases where you might get an emulator to run with a compatibility layer (i.e. Wine) or with a Windows virtual machine, sometimes only with limited functionality. As to "how": Depends on your distribution and its package manager. Very often you'll have to compile the emulator yourself. For e.g. lsnes exists a PKGBUILD in AUR for Arch Linux (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=lsnes). I am currently creating a table at http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources.html to display operating system support. Edit: Table created, needs some expansion.
All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.
