That’s all. I can’t imagine how the world and also myself would look like without them.
linux really is amazing at this point and I think it can take over the desktop once people realize. There are distros that are install and go without much of a learning curve at all and wine allows for running of windows programs.
How ironic that much of Microsoft and all MacOS depends on Linux/Unix.
I mean ironic for those companies. Irony is not directed at OP.
FOSS also depends on them, many FOSS contributors are employed by proprietary companies.
Linux would be nothing without Unix.
PREACH!!

macOS is not really BSD. It uses a Mach-like kernel with some of FreeBSD and OpenBSD in its userland. However, given that Linux and some versions of Windows also use BSD code in their network stacks, it should be obvious that “it uses BSD code” is not the same thing as “it is BSD”.

If it is “a BSD”, Windows is a BSD too.

Honestly: Ask the creator of that website. There is no technical reason for this.
It would look the same desktop wise lmao, most people don’t use them
Doubtful. Without Linux running the majority of the internet, I doubt the desktop scene would look the same as it does today.
That’s why I said desktop not server
It wouldn’t. According to one source, Linux on desktop has 2.68% of users which translates to 32.8 million people. I’ve seen figures of around 5% as well which almost doubles it.
That’s more people than most countries in the world have.
While the percentage seems low, that’s up to 60 million people whose lives are better because they can choose a free open source operating system.
For some it’s a tiny bit better, for some it’s a lot, but overall it’s (up to) 60 million people who are happier than they would be if they had to choose between EvilCorp1 and EvilCorp2.
Fair but I’ve never seen them in the wild. That’s still pretty rare. What how much of that percentage is gov users
