One could argue that Linux ate commercial *nix's lunch.
Linux (free of cost) plus the rather rapid performance increases of the
Intel x86 arch over those years were what ate commerical Unix's lunch.
When one could buy a commodity x86 system for a couple grand, which had
more compute performance than a five or six figure unix workstation,
and get 'Unix' (Linux) on the x86 for free, the commerical unix
workstation vendors no longer had a market they could sell into.
One, without the other, would not have had the same devastating effect
on the unix workstation market.
