Article title: Comment: Why is Linux more popular than BSD. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
BSD appeared earlier than Linux, and stability and security are all on Linux. even Windows and OS X have code from BSD. but when we talk about open-source free software, we first think of Linux, instead of BSD with old qualifications? Ken Thompson, one of the Unix founders, once commented on Linux as "Linux is just a product of the anti-Microsoft trend". he did not think that Linux would succeed much and pointed out that its code quality was uneven. So why is Linux more popular than BSD? Tetralet analyzed several reasons: Linux was plagued by BSD lawsuits and the Internet began to become popular;
Linus Torvalds is an outstanding leader. he has successfully developed a group of hackers with different personalities that are not generic, rather than those of other open-source projects;
Linux hardware support is better than BSD;
With the strong support of GNU, the GNU license is not compatible with BSD. Therefore, the emergence of Linux makes the combination of the two perfect, so now Linux is named GNU/Linux;
BSD adopts the campus-style school route, while Linux represents the market-style hacker spirit;
In addition, there are the diversity of Linux releases, support from commercial companies, and media preferences. The author believes that BSD has an excellent foundation, which may be a bit of luck, and there may be a lot to do in the future.
