There are other things to consider too: developer community goodwill, people that may not be on Linux now, but only use systems that are cross-platform (to curb lock-in to a particular OS), etc.
How much revenue is Atom for Linux expected to generate for Github?
- toomuchtodo 12y agoDeveloper/Linux community goodwill for a user-friendly backup services isn't as valuable as you'd think. IT support staff? Those are the people you want to enamor yourself with. And they're either on Apple or Windows gear.
- ars 12y agoYes it is. Assuming your IT guy at work runs linux, then when you ask him: What backup should I get, if his answer is backblaze that brings a lot of business to you. Personally I assume they don't release a linux client because then people would backup their server to it.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoThose IT guys don't need to use Backblaze on Linux to recommend it; they're going to recommend whatever "just works" so they don't have to "go down the rabbit hole". When I still used Android, I would recommend iPhones all the time to people. Why? Because it just works, and I don't want to be stuck troubleshooting their Android issues for the life of their phone.
