Microsoft Windows owns the desktop. There, both macOS and Linux are
niche players.
But everywhere else, Linux has become the de facto standard of modern
computing.

remain something that prioritizes your preferences over those of any

If only there was an operating system designed by and for developers,
supported by a vast ecosystem that values control, customization, and
interoperability....
How unimaginibably cool would it be if such an OS were also the de
facto
standard of modern computing in all areas beyond the desktop, giving
you
the confidence that the system in your hands works just like the
others
you use in servers, IoT devices, and everything else in the
ubiquitous-computing world you design for....
If only such a thing existed, you could still enjoy every other OS
LiveCode runs on for testing, deployment, and support, or even for
some
end-user tasks like specialized kinds of media production. Consumer
electronics appliances could be enjoyed for what they are, and all
the
while your bread-and-butter development system would always remain
something that prioritizes your preferences over those of any single
corporation....
