Unix? Come on, really?
What is Unix in 2024?
I think any modern unix-like operation systems: bsd based,linux based,haiku,minix and other else hundred branches.
dont forget darwin aka MacOS
And iOS, making Unix one of the largest operating systems on the planet
Basically mac os and ios is actually same thing both use darwin kernel same graphical stack.
That would be Minix 3, I think, because it runs in (yes, in) all modern Intel CPU's.
Oh yeah, I forgot about management engine
and with one word, the conversation becomes deeply political.
One of?
I'm going with the largest, by a huge margin. Unix and it's descendents run everything. Even MS uses it for some things.
Unix has been around since 1969-ish, that's 20 years before NT.
And I've use NT every day since it came out.
I don't consider Linux based os's Unix, which takes most servers and android out of the running. Unix might still be bigger, idk
