Most of our vendors only make products for windows, barely understand windows and certainly don’t understand Linux or as400, and they dont intend to. Those that do run Linux and as400 are actively transitioning their systems to a windows based version as it’s easier for the casinos to maintain.
Source: IT Director for a casino company and responsible for hundreds of windows servers, thousands of PCs, 12 Linux and half a dozen as400s - I’m not with Caesars or MGM thank god but their breaches caused me a ton of work and lost sleep trust me
Welp, guess you're SOL then.
