Maybe the monoculture that many kids nowadays think UNIX === Linux?

I don't think the kids these days know that UNIX exists.

UNIX is also basically irrelevant unless you are talking about macOS technically being UNIX, so I agree with the kids.

The idea that Linux is a monoculture is also hilarious to me. That umbrella includes things like RHEL, SteamOS, Bazzite, Android, Chromebooks, Gnome, KDE, dwm, i3, your robot vacuum, car infotainment systems..."Linux" is the exact opposite of a monoculture.
