Can somebody explain why the down votes?
Mostly because it's simply not that easy. Devs go where support is at and follow market share (2000s era Mac gamer memes.)
If you look at the Linux community as a whole it's a wasteland of competing parties and standards. So it's not developing for linux it's developing for distros^hardware.
Windows is shit and it's pretty well known that it's getting worse... but it's still the standard and unfortunately until Linux starts unifying and becoming more stable for developers it's unlikely to become more compelling for the broader market to switch to.
TLDR; every time a new conflict breaks out hop in that thread and say "give peace a chance" and see how well that gets received.
Are we talking linux deskop for usage at end points?
Seems odd, we CAN run servers on it but end points can't be done properly.
I don't know shit about shit but linux desktop was a pleasant surprise as a gamer.
That comment you answered to is full of shit, desktop Linux works fine for many companies. And no dev ever chooses Windows lol
