And think of all the Linux user base on servers and the fact that macOS and iOS are somewhat like Linux. Unix is huge baby!

Anyone writing portable software across UNIX will painfully discover why stuff like autoconf was born.

Linux kernel is only an implementation detail on Android.
Userspace is a mix of Java, Kotlin, ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries, and Android specific native APIs.
Nothing from Linux side is considered public API other than for OEMs providing their own device customisations, not app developers consumption.
G Suite still has too much to learn from Office capabilities.

GSuite is nowhere near the “top spot”. It’s nowhere close.

> Microsoft owns nearly 90% of the office suite market, or email and authoring market, as Gartner calls it. Google holds onto just over 10%, but is gaining about 1% market share annually.

Perhaps GP meant "online office suite"

Isn’t that a distinction without a difference? All of the office suites have both online and offline capabilities - even Apple’s iWork.
On the other hand, I hardly ever use the online version of GSuite, I use the iOS versions that can all work offline.
As for office software, G Suite took over the top spot from MS Office a few years ago.
