However, when we look at the world of servers and embedded systems, it’s a different story. In the desktop market, Linux garners only about one percent. Even, the closest competitor, the Apple Mac with its Unix-like OS X operating system, only represents between seven and eight percent of the computers in use today.

Windows continues as the top individual choice for daily personal and business computing.

When it comes to the desktop/laptop market, Windows owns 90%-and that’s not likely to change in the near future. That attitude springs from the divergent contributions the two operating systems make to the computing world. But reality suggests that either most Linux users don’t care about the AutoHotkey form of automation or they use alternative approaches.

Quite frankly, if enough people wanted AutoHotkey for Linux (or another operating system), then someone would make it happen. Linux and Windows Computers Serve Different Markets However, there are numerous reasons why an actively supported version of AutoHotkey does not exist outside Windows. AutoHotkey works great for many Windows users and some want the same (or similar) capabilities in Linux. Many AutoHotkey lovers question why the free Windows-base scripting language hasn’t invaded other operating systems. When someone likes something, they want it everywhere. Why Isn’t There a Linux Version of AutoHotkey for Automating Computer Systems?
