		It is clear that UNIX won the server room, and the current form most people use of it is Linux, because POSIX ends up being a bit meh. Additionally, it is a kind of phyrric victory, because when using cloud services with managed containers, the underlying OS isn't that much relevant, unless using languages like C and C++, without rich runtimes that abstract the OS.
