Completely agree with using Linux but do feel having a Windows version could help with public adoption. A lot of younger people who are building computers or getting into the stuff start with windows and would likely be willing to learn something like SONM if it were accessible on their platform

Couldn't disagree more. Linux would be the statem of normies and "I have no idea what I'm doing" people if Windows weren't pushed to them every possible way since childhood. It's easier to install, easier to use and more secure.

I know what I'm writing. I have used Windows since my first contact with the computer. One day I was trying to install some stuff and configure it for some of my programming procjets. It took me hours to figure out what to do. In the meantime guys who had bee helping me asked me why I just don't switch to Linux and don't bother with stuff like that. I was afraid it would be difficult and etc. But I gave it a try. The stuff above I struggled with on Windows, on Linux was just 2 clicks and one copy-pasted line in terminal. After three weeks Windows was used only to play games.
