Today we have many projects with no Windows support, like this Minimodem. I couldn't even develop React or React Native apps on Windows until a few years after they had been out. I would love to be able to use Redis on Windows in production for corporate Intranet apps where they often run Windows only.
It's kind of annoying to me, but I don't blame the authors. I feel like many Linux users blamed Microsoft for things like this, but honestly - why should anyone go out of their way to support an OS that they don't use?
- traverseda 9y agoPresumably because that OS supports you right back. If windows open-sourced a few key components, like directx, I'd be a lot more inclined to support it.
- hungerstrike 9y agoYeah, I hear what you’re saying. I deploy my stuff to Linux, but putting aside any ideology, I just vastly prefer a Windows desktop.
- bb88 9y agoSorry about hearing you three days late, but I agree with you on this.... and so I decide to use windows, and the box shuts down automatically does an update, and I wait 20 minutes for it to apply it's patches, And then I reboot into linux, and sudo apt-get upgrade, and remember why I use linux all the freakin time.
- Gracana 9y agoSurely there is a difference between the two. React is open source and you could have solved your problem yourslef or hired someone to do it. What can a Linux user do about proprietary hardware other than complain to the manufacturer?
