If you would have read my next post, you would know my answer. I have
used Linux long enough to realise that it is *not* the glorious
next-generation OS that some people proclaim it. In fact, I regard it as
old-fashioned and awkward as any kind of Unix I have encountered so far.
IMO, it is an OS of the past, not of the future, and while I will
probably continue to use it once in a while for some time to use
software that only exists on Unix, I will stop using it once this
software has been ported to DOS.

I don't think linux is the next generation OS either. But neither is windows or macos. And most definitely DOS isn't. But linux is the best choice imo for several reasons. License, foss, and the fact that *nix is more mature than windows are just a few. Unless there is some change in OS direction I think *nix will be the OS of the near future generation more and more.
