Re: Says it all
Good for Sony, Nintendo, countless others but not so much for the end-users.
How is it not good for end users? You think Sony, et. al should write their own OS, network drivers/stack, filesystem drivers/stack...etc etc... why? It'd cost them more, putting up prices (bad for end users) and surely running well tested and mature code is a benefit for end users?
Utterly unsurprising that dev time is spent on Linux emulation for binaries so that the poor users can actually have a range of software to run.
For binaries..... <whisper> the ones without source code. </whisper> ;)
This is why, as the article states in the opening sentence, "It's not as well known as Linux"
It isn't. That's due to a court case in the 90s and momentum.
and I believe it will continue to be irrelevant.
Fair enough. It's an OS at the end of the day, it's not that important in the grand scheme of things.
