... in iOS 13....

[Erik Beugelaar]

Yeah, I understand. Beyond the desktop and behind the scenes it's definitely Linux playing the piano.
I was joking about .NET... ;)

And when I look at my kept ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and an ATARI XL and the way I programmed my sprites etc. compared to the modern tools I am using nowadays, I am still surprised everyday how fast it's going... and how fast you get old :) 

Cheers, Erik

    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.
