    They’re still a de-facto monopoly.

    Windows is a de-facto monopoly, and there are stuff where Windows is still better than Linux. I actually worked with Linux API, and while the base Posix stuff are okay-ish, others make you appreciate the COM interfaces on Windows.

    “Oh, just use SDL!” SDL abstracts away a lot of things.

          If you made the same thing with operating systems it’d just be a 20 pages of Microsoft shooting itself while Apple hits some crack in the background. All this being watched by a swarm of penguins eating popcorn.

          I wish I had the artistic talent to make this.
