Ask HN: If Unix gets more popular would you use it instead of Linux?

1•catstor•1h ago
In a hypoethical scenario Unix Operating Systems get as much popular and supported in both hardware and software as Linux is currently is. Would you use it instead of Linux as your daily driver?

FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD are UNIX-likes, and not POSIX-certified.

i dont think ur definition of unix passes muster?
conz•50m ago
Why do you classify the BSDs as Unix and not Linux as a Unix? Linux has about as much right to be called a Unix as the BSDs do, as those BSDs have had to be stripped of pretty much all Unix code in order to comply with the AT&T v. BSDi court case from 35 years ago[0].

Further, the BSDs were more popular than Linux at a point in time. There's a very good reason why Linux won the platform wars, and a very large part of that reason is because of the GPL - a difference with the BSDs which wont be going away.

How much difference in hardware and software availability is there between Linux and the various Unix versions? I often see mentions of a user abandoning Windows for Linux, but what percentage of users actually abandon one OS for another? Considering how long Unix has been around, even before Linux, is it likely to get significantly "more popular"?

I already do ... I used FreeBSD on desktops/laptops since 20 years.
