OSS comes from the GNU project and GNU means Gnu
s Not Unix.
OSS was always a UNIX clone trying to recreate the multiuser UNIX experience for
every man. So they where mostly writing software to run on UNIX workstations.
That we today use pc hardware comes from the fact that the PC clones was created
and competed with IBM PC so that the cost of the hardware went down so much that
they become the most sold and thus most inexpensive hardware for a computor.
PS Sadly if you look at it it would probably been better if the Amiga been the
big winner with its much more better support for sound and graphics. Now it took
a long time until PC could make the good 3D games that we have today - had amiga
been the frontrunner we would have been here much sooner. Games has always been
a big contributing factor in the development of better hardware.
