    The OS provides services to the application, acting as a bridge between the application and the physical hardware. The entire point of an OS is to run applications, otherwise it would serve no purpose.

    If the app can run in Windows on the same hardware that Linux can, but the app can’t run in Linux, then the only difference is the OS.

      Yes, but this is a design choice made by those who make the app, not a design choice made by those that make the operating system.

      If I make a screwdriver that isn’t compatible with any screws on the market, that is my poor design choice, not that of screw manufacturers.
