Isn’t Linux become popular in recent years too? At first they use Unix to run servers, you can even encounter some sites running Unix nowadays.
I kind of agree with the saying “Linus has a bigger impact as the inventor of Git”, because we can use git for Windows/Mac OS/BSD software, while Linux can only run Linux Apps.
- scaladev 6y agoIt's just silly. Get outside your desktop bubble. Linux powers literally billions of smartphones, a similar amount of embedded devices, millions of servers in large datacenters, etc etc. git is one VCS among many, even if it is the most popular and the best in many respects. It's one of the many tools used by pretty much a single profession. To me it's a bit like saying that a circular saw has had more impact on the world than Linux.
- croes 6y agoHow many people use Android smartphones and how many use git? Seems more like a reflection of the author's bubble.
- jhvkjhk 6y agoI see, I forgot Android when I'm defending for git.
- est31 6y agoBtw through Wine, Linux can also run Windows apps.
