linux isn't a monoculture at all

assuming you know about Windows and OS X and are just talking about servers, there's still the BSDs and Solaris and AIX. a good deal of software is written to just assume a reasonably POSIX-compliant environment, precisely because linux is not the only server OS.

unix-like operating systems are something of a monoculture and that IS very bad, because OS design is basically stuck in 1973

>Is git bad?

yes and anyone who says otherwise is numb to the pain
