General Share of Operating Systems
In the area of desktop and laptop computers, Microsoft Windows is generally above 70% in most markets and at 77% globally, Apple's macOS at around 13%, Google's ChromeOS at about 6% (in the US) and Linux at around 2%. All these figures vary somewhat in different markets, and depending on how they are gathered. From Wikipedia.
I personally dislike Apple and will never develop for macOS. Linux is OK but I’ve been there before and prefer Windows. As a developer on Windows the tools from Microsoft are superb,
Operating System use in Gaming
There’s a reason Windows / Xbox is dominant in gaming, just look at this chart: Share of Steam (gaming platform) users in October 2019, by operating system used .
DirectX is an amazing tour de force, something I want to master over the next three years.
Users by Browser and OS
This is a duda.co website running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The site gathers visitor information, below is a breakdown by browser and operating system. Note: all website know the browser you use and your IP address.
Of interest is the ratio of Windows to Linux users, 16.75 : 1. Similarly the ratio of Windows to MacOS users is 13.5 : 1.
So there's absolutely no chance of a rewrite of this project for either Linux or or MacOS.
Sorry Folks...
SDR Television Found and fixed an unused massive memory allocation (up to 10GB), may have caused systems to freeze. Fixed fatal bug in matched filter array allocation. Changed the default transmit bandpass shaping filter roll-off to 0.20 in transmit and receive. Please look at the images below and apply the change. SDR Pluto Now show the AGC gain and RSSI. Added Default link to select the recommended gain - Fast Attack, 0dB visual. Known Problems Add support for tracking transmissions with (?) non-standard PCR data, example is G8GKQ. Using Pluto & variants, sensitivity is not as good as a NIM (hardware tuner). Will compare with SPECTRAN ECO in a week or so.
Unexpected Beta #4 I wasn't planning to release another beta, but there was an error with a download link in the Blog port for Beta #3, also a few worthwhile improvements have been made, so here I go.
Major Change Scroll down to the SDR Radio information. The bandwidths available for SDR Television when using a Pluto / LibreSDR have changed.

UI Refresh And More...
After too much grief, I've decided to stop using Wi-Fi to connect the small NUC systems in the computer room to my network: DX Cluster (Ubuntu) SDR Server (Windows) User Forums (Windows) These servers are in constant use, causing the wireless transmitter on my TP-Link AX50 to fail. By switching over to a wired network there's less demand on the wireless transmitter and the whole network has become far more reliable. In future I will only use Wi-fi when there's no alternative. I'm keeping a spare router ready just in case the AX50 fails.
Inside All this equipment is installed in my computer room, next to the office.

Sounds Like... And before I start, may I apologise for the delay in finding the cause of the noise.
