I'm very glad modern Linux basically has nothing to do with UNIX. It has a lot of really neat ideas, but I don't want to use it.
I would much rather use Linux, that totally breaks with all that, even the "Everything is a file" idea, now that it's rare to directly interact with the file-like nature of anything but an actual file.
Even then, I think Android is just a bit better than Linux for a lot of things, only held back by how hard it is to write software compared to any non-mobile platform, and they are even farther from UNIX.
