Hi Everyone,  
Recently, one of my colleague heard from somewhere that ignition is going to stop using Linux?  
I believe it was a Rumour, However, I though it would be good to have opinion from Ignition community. Can anyone please help me with this question. Thanks.

Highly doubtful. One of Ignition’s strongest points is that it’s cross-platform.

Not even just Ignition but that’s one of Java’s (which Ignition is built with) biggest selling points compared to other languages - easier to code for cross platform.

Not to mention plenty of integrators here choose linux as a gateway host for a variety of reasons, don’t now why they would want to ostracize them.

No plans to stop supporting Linux.
