Linux is a big part of the future for server platforms, but in its pure
form it has lost the battle for the desktop. Windows and MacOS as
platforms capable of enterprise-level management are not going anywhere
soon. Don't ignore ChromeOS and Android for local "desktops" either -
both are Linux-based of course.
The biggest dependencies should not be the OS but the runtime
frameworks. This world used to be java-based; these days .NET Core is a
viable competitor, as is Node.js. As a server-side application supplier,
if your product doesn't run in a container, it doesn't exist. Containers
basically mean Linux and Windows. Actual host OS is irrelevant - only
the container environment matters.
