Not to put amiga down, or atari up, but, 
Amiga have been battling finding their official OS. Amiga OS just has
lost.
Linux is the only way for Amiga to keep on.
Now the interesting part is Amiga, different hardware, different OS, and
different software, different developers, different president. Where's
amiga? What's left? the name if you ask me.
It is gonna be like a cheap version of SGI, who's lost IRIX for Linux,
Same deal.
Just hardware manufacturer, NOT intel cpu based, not a PC what.
