The Linux desktop market is miniature compared to Windows and MAC. OTOH, there are hundreds of Android apps for all different versions and level of Android OS. Most apps for Linux built on one system tend to be compatible with others within a certain range of kernel releases. Given that there are two main paid support systems (Red Hat and SuSE), covering those and also Debian/Ubuntu/Mint would include the majority of distros without too much effort, but the ROI isn't high. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
