Contents

Windows: 45.3% macOS: 29.2% Linux: 25.3% BSD/Unix: 0.1%

Yet despite the fact that the alleged decline of UNIX keeps coming up, it’s still breathing. It’s still widely used in enterprise data centers. It’s still running huge, complex, key applications for companies that absolutely, positively need those apps to run.

Unix is a family of multitasking, portable, multi-user computer operating systems, which also have time-sharing configurations. Unix systems use a centralized OS kernel which is responsible for managing the entire system.
