Maybe the monoculture that many kids nowadays think UNIX === Linux?

I don't think the kids these days know that UNIX exists.

UNIX is also basically irrelevant unless you are talking about macOS technically being UNIX, so I agree with the kids.

The idea that Linux is a monoculture is also hilarious to me. That umbrella includes things like RHEL, SteamOS, Bazzite, Android, Chromebooks, Gnome, KDE, dwm, i3, your robot vacuum, car infotainment systems..."Linux" is the exact opposite of a monoculture.

All powered by the Linux kernel, the very meaning of monoculture.

Also it isn't as if BSD, FreeRTOS, Aix, INTEGRITY, SmartOS, Illumos, QNX,... don't exist.

> Aix

This is more a limitation on the architecture - virtually nobody has power arch hanging around to play on.

		As owner from Red-Hat and Linux contributor since 1998, IBM isn't certainly blocked by choice, they also have Linux for the same architecture, which Aix customers could switch to and don't.

FreeRTOS is an odd one in that set.

		It also has good enough POSIX support.
