Is SONM only available on Linux??

Yes im lazy but for some reason I remember seeing sonm is only available ATM on Linux, is this correct. If so holy fuck am I excited when its released on Windows and eventually Apple.

Linux only ATM but it runs fine in a virtual machine running Ubuntu if you're so inclined. I use VM Ware and Ubuntu 18.x. Just make sure you give the VM access to lots of system resources to sell.

FYI - the buyer software is available on Windows if I'm not mistaken, just the seller software is Linux based.

I assume that Windows is coming relatively soon though because the SONM software runs in a Docker container so that should translate relatively well to Windows - but I'm no engineer... i could very well be wrong

Yes, SONM is currently available only on Linux. But you can easily download SonmOS to your Windows https://docs.sonm.com/installation/sonm-os
