No.
Stop being old and grumpy and join in instead.
No one outside of here much cares about the fine grained differences between GNU/Linux and Unix and they mostly shouldn't have to.
The more important part is that the general spirit (strongly buttressed by the GPL and Stallman, I'd argue, more than anything else but we can debate) represents a better and smarter way of looking at computing than letting everything we do get taken over overly greedy companies. There's some need for "capitalism" for sure, but this was the more important part.
- dagmx 4y agoI think it’s a bit rude to call them old and grumpy for accurately calling out inaccuracies in the other persons comments. The GPL’nes of it all didn’t even factor into the other posters comments about feature influence, and I’d argue that it’s not a factor in influencing Windows/Mac at a regular consumer level.
- sbuk 4y agoClearly the GP does as they cite it a things that they think come directly from Linux and/or it's influenced general computing. I'm just setting them straight on few things.
