Agreed.

And the funny thing is that everyone does use Unix. Everyone with a smartphone does as both iOS and Android are derivatives of Unix-OSes (Darwin and Linux). Only Fuchsia will be truly non Unix. If it ever makes it out the door.

However those mobile OSes (or ChromeOS) are of course not what we're talking about when we say we love Unix. The same will happen if Linux ever makes it mainstream. Consumers might love it but we won't. I'm happy for it to stay a niche thing. My niche.
