As someone who has been working as a systems engineer with both Windows and Linux/UNIX for about 25 years now, I would not consider UNIX to be superior a priori

As someone who has been working as a systems engineer with both Windows and Linux/UNIX for about 25 years now, I would not consider UNIX to be superior a priori.
Both philosophies have their merits.
And I think Linux‘ strongest selling point was and is being free. And I mean free as in beer.
- blackoil 3y agoYeah, Linux came in at a time when companies were paying big for Solaris and other Unix and its primary advantage was being free replacement. For long it wasn't technically better than Solaris other than being on x86.
