Why unix is the best operating system than other operating system?

Answer 1

There is no way to answer this question in sufficient detail. "Unix" is a term for a variety of operating systems, many of which have only a few features in common. And with a variety of operating systems on the market, there may or may not be differences between them and "Unix" in selected areas.

Answer 2

every OS has its own advantages and disadvantages. But considering most of the parameters, unix is considered as the best operating system because of the stability and also because of the kernal.

Answer 3

It was developed in 1969 by AT&T Bell labs which at the time was one of the most advanced technology research and development institutions in the world, rivaled only by Xerox's PARC. AT&T then let Universities and businesses freely use and develop it. Over the years numerous top universities (Stanford, Berkley, Carnegie Mellon), and business (IBM, Sun, HP) developed and improved it. The end result after forty years is that billions of dollars and countless amounts of manpower have gone into developing one of the most stable and secure software systems ever created. Additionally given the fact it was initially used by AT&T for it's telephone networking system it was used to make the backbone of the internet, making it highly versatile for networking. The basic point is that it has been more developed and used for more things (servers, embedded, desktop) than any other operating system.

Answer 4

Unix is similar to a command line Linux operating system; the main difference is that there is usually no GUI interface, and all operations are performed by a unique set of commands. Unix varies between versions, but the most common version for business is SCO Unix.

Answer 5

Unix itself has long since ceased being an operating system and more become a standard and a certification for one. Certified Unix systems can be somewhat different so long as they comply with the Single Unix Specification. Examples include AIX, Mac OS X, and BSD. Many "authentic" Unix systems don't have any actual descent from the original Unix code. Primarily the System V-based Unix systems have the most code in common.

Linux is not a certified Unix system, and remains an operating system in its own right, as opposed to a standard and a certification.

Primarily, the difference between a certified Unix system and Linux is in compliance. Linux is for the most part very close to an actual Unix system, but it is still not a full Unix system, as the userspace can and does change to wide degrees and doesn't always provide a full "Unix" style setup. No Linux distribution has been Unix certified either.
