<p>Linux is a big part of the future for server platforms, but in its pure form it has lost the battle for the desktop. Windows and MacOS as platforms capable of enterprise-level management are not going anywhere soon. Don't ignore ChromeOS and Android for local "desktops" either - both are Linux-based of course.</p>
<p>The biggest dependencies should not be the OS but the runtime frameworks. This world used to be java-based; these days .NET Core is a viable competitor, as is Node.js. As a server-side application supplier, if your product doesn't run in a container, it doesn't exist. Containers basically mean Linux and Windows. Actual host OS is irrelevant - only the container environment matters.</p>
