No.

>>56484853
Yes.

>>56484840
I was going to say Linux would have more of an impact on society as a whole. Space programs, science programs, servers, supercomputers would all be impacted.

I think if Windows died the amount of focus on Linux would be huge. Meaning it would have a larger and more dedicated developer base. Linux would skyrocket into the future. Mac doesn't even need to die. It would just be forgotten.

Never going to happen even if Windows died.

Fuck are you talking about? If you're in enterprise you have about 3 or 4 distros to choose from.

Linux runs on many hardware controllers, networking equipment, many web and DNS servers, etc. Anyone saying Windows has no idea how the internet works.

>>56484719
Honestly,

Mac OSX.
>Runs on a few laptops and iMacs
>Used nowhere


While Windows is a to-go desktop OS
And Linux is a to-go Server OS

Windows and Linux are irreplaceable, MacOS is not relevant anywhere

But what about all the Designers, photographers, and movie makers?

Surely That's more important

Make the scenario more realistic, like some exploit that just went public and puts every member of that OS at risk, since its so easy just one person could crash every computer running this OS.

>Windows
Entire business world and some servers die. Catastrophe that would also impact linux.

>Windows 8
Lots of shitty businesses, Microsoft and government agencies can't streamline their user experience between their phone their computer and their beanbag mounted tablet

>linux
Very important servers die. Catastrophe that would also impact Windows

>gentoo
>bsd
Some neckbears get upset



>Mac
The editing studio working on the next superhero movie can't function.

>ios
A significant amount of peoples lives impacted but meh

>android
Could possibly bring down some major infrastructure for a few days but wouldn't be the end of the world
