		hulitu on April 13, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Lindows 4.0 (2003) This is because they are all monopolies. My employer only allows Windows for PCs and iOS for phones. If i buy i smartphone at a resonable price there is only Android. (no i will not pay 500 Euros for a thing that costs 50 Euros).

Almost none, instead Windows gets kind of emulated via Proton, thus making irrelevant any business reasons to target GNU/Linux directly.
