That’s all. I can’t imagine how the world and also myself would look like without them.

    How ironic that much of Microsoft and all MacOS depends on Linux/Unix.

    I mean ironic for those companies. Irony is not directed at OP.

      FOSS also depends on them, many FOSS contributors are employed by proprietary companies.

      macOS is not really BSD. It uses a Mach-like kernel with some of FreeBSD and OpenBSD in its userland. However, given that Linux and some versions of Windows also use BSD code in their network stacks, it should be obvious that “it uses BSD code” is not the same thing as “it is BSD”.

    linux really is amazing at this point and I think it can take over the desktop once people realize. There are distros that are install and go without much of a learning curve at all and wine allows for running of windows programs.

    There must be foss alternatives to every proprietary software. Big thanks to GNU and Linus Torvalds that joined their forces and created GNU/Linux!
