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!!
I hate to break it to you, but macOS is bsd.

But I agree that it is great to have a whole collection of OS variants to choose from. Having used AIX and HPUX in the past, I’m happy to be able to not need to do that anymore.
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”.

OS family: Unix-like, FreeBSD, BSD
But sure, it’s not a true
Scotsmanbsd.If it is “a BSD”, Windows is a BSD too.
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
