The most widely used operating systems in the world are based on unix/linux. Android (the most used OS in the world), MacOS, iOS, ESXi (as well as most hypervisors that aren’t hyper-v) are all based on Linux/Unix. That’s not even mentioning routers, switches, load balancers, and other high performance networking equipment. Other critical internet infrastructure (like root DNS servers) are all based on Unix or Unix-derivitives.

Just because it’s not a widely used desktop OS doesn’t mean that Linux/unix aren’t relevant.

I work in I.T. on servers all day. I’m not always the best with endpoints/printers/home computers/etc.
