Yeah, other than the most popular Unix like desktop OS being macOS and iOS a dominant second in mobile. Other than those two that no one uses, most of the world is Linux. And for the topic at hand the macOS design is basically same as FreeBSD as mentioned, macOS is not derived from Linux.
- edgyquant 3y agoMost computers are not desktops. Most phones and servers are Linux based, thus the overwhelming majority of computers are running Linux.
- epcoa 3y agoOh fucking please. You were wrong, get over it and stop making irrelevant snipes that have nothing to do with the original topic. The question from the context was, for someone programming Unix like systems, are there systems other than Linux that matter? The answer is yes. No one started off with a claim that Linux isn't the majority of Unix like systems, how you get that from "The whole world isn't linux" is beyond me. macOS and iOS are heavily used Unix like systems with significant market share. They're not rounding errors. > Most computers are not desktops. Doesn't fucking matter, Mac OS software is still a multi-billion dollar industry. > Most phones iOS is about 30% of the market. Yes 70% is a majority, but not an overwhelming majority whatever that is, especially when that 30% pays the bills more than the other 70% If you're going to pull the irrelevant pedantic shit it helps to be right too, the overwhelming majority of computers are not running Linux since for every crappy Android phone out there, there are dozens of embedded devices running some variety of RTOS. And is a Nintendo Switch a phone or a server?
