The technical claims here are badly incorrect.

Oberon is 2 things. It is a language and an OS, or even a family of OSes.

Oberon the language has several versions and works on Linux on x86, x86-64, ARM and other platforms, as well as Windows, BSD, Mac OS X, etc.

E.g. https://github.com/vishaps/voc

Oberon the OS runs on x86 and RISC5 among others. I am considering attempting an ARM port for Raspberry Pi.

So no, it is not at all Windows-centric. One commercial compiler is, but not the language.

It is niche but the community seems quite active.
