It really is astounding that Unix, it's bastard children Linux, iOs and Android are secondhand to Windows, which was written on the back of a napkin by a drunken dwarf masturbating in a dumpster believing he was summoning a demon.

How I heard it at least.

The greasy hair, turtleneck, dramatic snapping of the glasses, deafeningly loud keyboards, this video has it all.

And UNIX's successor, Plan 9 from Bell Labs, got barely any traction at all. Still has it's die-hard fans, though.

Second to Windows? You obviously do not work in IT. No one uses windows, its for end users to read facebook and play video games. Not for actual work. The backbone of internet runs on *nix, all your websites and games including reddit.

it's crazy to think how much runs on containers inside virtualized linux instances that are running in hypervisors on hardware that also probably runs linux. years ago, people just installed the os and code straight onto a a server.
