There's plenty of topics on here about that very answer, but to be very specific: Time to train staff to support Linux The fact that Linux is 2-3% of a niche within a niche The costs to employ someone to develop for the platform and maintain it In other words, it's cost of investment vs. return. It just doesn't exist for Linux. We did it for years prior, and I don't really have much desire to go back. For our business it's simply an operating loss.
Ben Russell Posted September 23, 2016 Report Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Just stop. Please. I have no free time for at least two years to consider a Linux release. Earlier this year it looked like I might have time to deal with Linux, events turned out a different way and my time was consumed by other things. Now life has changed, my priorities have changed and Linux is absolutely dead last on my list of things to do. I'd rather wash the dishes. Sorry, that's the honest truth. It'd be more relaxing to get off the PC for half an hour. Edited September 23, 2016 by Ben Russell

Hire a PR specialist to consult your posts before writing insults. I've never in my life have allowed myself calling people trolls/idiots etc online. Even when don't agree with someone. If discussing and arguing in a forum is such a pain and does not produce money why bother at all reading it and answering. For sure you will keep more clients if staying silent.

knro Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Posted September 24, 2016 Why isn't this thread locked already? I got my refund, case closed.
mishaikin Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 And what wrong did I say? I've been coming here from time to time to see if linux version of ixeg 737 had been in development and apart from one of your June posts about possible linux release of gizmo in a month, most of the times linux is mentioned you jump the gun and barbecue the person who dares to ask for such "perversion". So you may speak like Donald Trump here, call me names, delete my post, I intend to keep my calm P.S. Hire a PR, someone doesn't know how to speak publicly here. If you want to alienate more people from xaviation, go on. But I thought main value for xaviation was successful business. Hope it is not the business of insuling people who doesn't share your opinion. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

But really, coming in here with your attitude towards Ben was not helpful either. I'd suggest you read things over a little better next time rather than jumping the gun. According to the post Ben referenced from you at the org, you have high objectives to stir the pot and purposefully fight. That's pretty low of you, and I don't understand how you can feel satisfied or comfortable with this type of provocation. Please don't come here with that objective next time, @mishaikin.
