Unfortunately I don't know how to sell support for my Go program, but I am
open to ideas.
I am sorry but I don't think it is possible to earn a living making Go
program under linux.
But maybe your problem could compile both under windows and linux and

It probably depends on the language. Java has several excellent
development environments that are superior to Visual Studio IMO. And

MS Windows users also insist that you give your work for free,

You can buy CDs from places like osdisc.com for a few
dollars; it's not extravagant. Not being able to burn
an iso is one of the defects of Windoze; Linux/OS
X/Free BSD systems include that capability at no extra
