« on: December 30, 2020, 20:00:48 »I have used these OS and I don't like it. So, I have no idea why I should develop software to OS that I don't like.Microsoft never liked Linux, they even payed and bought companies (SCO) to do anything they could to stop linux advancing (SCO was the UNIX trademark/license holder back in the day, on which linux is anchored (via the Minix clone linus torvals once wrote))
nowadays, Microsoft still hates Linux, it's one of their biggest threats, especially on the servermarket they feel the heat of linux, also on the embedded market it's all linux...
Still, microsoft has written quite some linux code, and even has a dedicated linux team nowadays, because it knows it's not important what Microsoft wants, but it's important what it's customers want... Microsoft has learned that the hard way, very painfully... in the '90s they were so happy they crushed novell and it's netware, now they were sure they would dominate the server market (except for mainframe), they even laughed at "free" linux-servers, nobody serious would use those... then Dell went Linux for server, then Compaq/HP started using it and soon all major companies had at least a few linux servers... Today microsoft servers are mainly used to work with the desktops, to have a Domain Controller and have user rights and services for the users, but to the internet it's often nto more then the exchange server (for mail), IIS is mainly not available to the world as LAMP servers do a way better job and are deemed more secure.
if you want or don't want to develop for linux is your choice, just better not regret your choice later on.
for those who really want AIMP on linux; it seems to run fine on WINE, so don't whine about it, it's better to have it run in wine then not at all!
