@code123ns lol. hobbyist OSs? where have you lived in the last 20 years? linux is everywhere, in every android phone, on almost every webserver, on render farms that made the effects for almost all major movies with animated or special effects. It can even runs on the ibm s/390 :)
@amaranthflavius oh, yes this kernel panicking unix wannabe is popular, I'll give you that. Popular with the likes people who dared to call MySQL a database at time when it didn't even support transactions. It WILL get you alot from your PC based server, but I can't see why anyone would want to waste a high-end mainframe on it (and don't confuse them with super computers; lin is nice for that too).
I'm sad that IBM was in a place where it had to give in and help people port it there.
@code123ns like it or not, its the most stable OS out ther at the moment, and you know why? because its open source and if ther is a problem in it, the community fixes it, unlike MS that prefers to pay and give hackers source code just to make them agree to not make anymore exploits on ther poorly written code.At the moment linux supports the most largest variety of architectures. In 20 years you will have a TB of ram just to enjoy you BSOD win and linux will be everywhere, even in your toaster
@amaranthflavius MS? Windows? I was talking about System/3xx! Open source? IBM was giving loyal customers the source code on microfilm when "open source" wasn't even a "word" yet.

This is no ordinary 390. It's an ES/9000, which can have up to 128 processors.
