Windows uses BSD licensed code
MacOS is BSD!!!
IOS is BSD!!!
Android is Linux
Unix won the operating systems wars.
ps4 use freebsd, i think ps5 too
Coundn’t you also buy a Linux live CD that worked on the PS2?
It was the PS3, and I don’t believe you had to buy anything. It had “other OS” functionality for effectively dual-booting Linux on it, which they removed partway through it’s lifecycle in a firmware update.
That pretty much kickstarted and supercharged the PS3 hacking scene.
Linux for PlayStation 2 was a thing.
true, btw ps3 was cracked because sony said in a conference that they were going to remove the otherOS support from the ps3, and lost a lawsuit because of that lol
Ps2, ps3 but patched out due to being the cheapest computer
Unofficially ps3, ps4, and switch
Which is what makes the PSVR being linux more interesting imo. You’d think if they’re already invested in BSD they’d use BSD for the headset too.
Stallman was right about permissive, non copyleft licenses.

Didn’t it, though? Is MacOS Unix? PlayStation? Any of it?
Look at the development energy behind Linux versus any of the BSDs.
TrueNAS is pivoting to Linux because they were tired of implementing things in BSD that were solved in Linux.
It’s easy to see why too. There’s little incentive for a company to open source improvements over BSD if they are even tangentially related to their core business. You’d be fueling the competition.
Edit: I’m assuming you meant Unix/BSD. Linux was always on a copyleft license, after all.
There are also multiple projects for using a PSVR on Linux that are in various stages of development.
