Yes, it says that in the README. Plenty of people use other operating systems, though.

I don't see any mention of Mac at all in the Readme, and I find the "etc" part confusing. For example, I use FreeBSD. PS4 is based on FreeBSD. Does FreeBSD go under the "etc" part? If not then what does?

It's still not clear to me. I think it means you can use if your host platform is Windows, but you can target other platforms through cross-compiling, but it doesn't say it explicitly.

Most of them actually.
