 Tomasz Kuehn initially proposed the idea of an open-source SuperMemo for Linux on October 24, 1997. However, around 2004, the availability of CrossOver software diminished the demand for a native Linux version, consequently affecting the progress of the open-source project. In 2006, Florian Zwicke and Filip Glowacki introduced their own variations, and in 2008, Darek Murakowski revitalized the idea.
 Despite these efforts, successful open-source versions of SuperMemo have never emerged, and there has never been a native SuperMemo specifically designed for Linux. Some users sucessfuly used SuperMemo in Linux computers by [https://supermemopedia.com/wiki/Talk:SuperMemo_for_Windows_under_Wine using Wine] or other tools with some main features broken. Keep in mind that runnung SuperMemo on Linux doesn't make it open source. The oposite is true, an open source app doesn't need to run under Linux systems.

	SuperMemo for Windows entirely focuses on improving learning strategies, esp. in reference to [[Incremental Reading]]. It seeks no compromise in terms of wide appeal. It cannot relinquish control of development. On occasion, [[Piotr Wozniak]] can rely on outsourcing the development of subcomponents, however, the choice of tasks and their definition must be determined with complete subservience to the goal of efficient learning.
