Post From: Understanding Sierra Chart Work to Port To Linux and Windows is Doomed

What we can say in summary regarding the prior post, is as follows. And we have talked about this in this particular thread here:
Microsoft Windows Is Truly Garbage. An Abomination. Software That is Woke and Insane

Windows is not a serious, or trustworthy or high-performance operating system. It is not acceptable for business use, it is not acceptable for trading use. It is not acceptable even for server use. It is not trustworthy. Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Microsoft, is an abomination to the world. How much suffering and wasted time are they inflicting upon, users both, personal and business with all of their updates and all of their problems.

And we know Sierra Chart is not perfect but we are nowhere even close to as bad as Microsoft is. And we do not have bad, wicked or evil intentions but only good intentions.

So therefore, the other choices would be Linux or Mac.

And Sierra Chart will be ported first to Linux, and then we will look at Mac but apparently Linux programs can run on a Mac?

So traders are going to have to get off of windows, and onto Linux or Mac, and use Sierra Chart. Which we will we will ensure has superb performance on Linux. At least Linux will be the first choice.

Have a look at this video regarding Linux Mint:

Something to think about. Windows is doomed. Microsoft is going to be gradually becoming history. There is no possibility of reform at this point for them. They have destroyed themselves.
