Mind that most commercial programs, targeted for RedHat or SuSe, are generally
i386 ONLY !
Second point : commercial program editors want to rely on some king of system
certification ; even if what RedHat or SuSe provide is far from satisfaction,
it can take place in a business process, as a mention to good practice.
Third : what made Apple fortune : a very narrow hardware selection ! If a
commercial program had to rely on
- amd64
- nvidia
on top of any other hardware combination you can imagine, this list would
generate thousands messages a day !
