I'm not a Linux user (except for Chromebook and Android) so honestly the Linux section wasn't personally important to me. Another commentor wanted more information on the Linux side so I looked briefly if I could find an article that might be helpful. Linux terminology is all Greek to me so I honestly wouldn't know. I thought the article was interesting and I thought other people might find it interesting. The Linux part didn't even enter into my mind.
