    Why do you think most early adopters use Windows exclusively?

      Well Linux desktop is at 4% so it’s cutting out 96% of the market.

        …did you just completely forget about Macs? That’s about 18% of the desktop market.

        But they also are prioritizing mobile development (though they don’t have anything working there yet) prior to Windows development. That’s a much, much larger market share.

        Additionally:

        • Early adopters are likely to be devs, and devs use Linux and Mac much more than typical end-users.
        • Even early adopters who do use Windows often use WSL, which now has first-class support for GUI apps.
