Tanenbaum claims (or did, a few years ago) that the most popular operating system is Minix.
Obviously it's impossible to prove one way or the other...
- KptMarchewa 7y agoIt is, since it's baked into every Intel processor.
- nabla9 7y agoIt's very likely the most popular OS shipping today on desktops, laptops and servers. All Intel chipsets post-2015 are running MINIX 3 internally in the Intel Management Engine.
- Accujack 7y agoIt's not the most popular overall because the largest number of CPU chips in the world are ARM (phones and other devices) which don't have embedded MINIX. You could argue that the most popular shipping OS is the BIOS, or hard drive microcode.
