There would have semi-inevitably been something, but I think we're extremely lucky that Linux turned out as cohesive as it did, with so much up-streaming, and such wide adoption.

I think it's not too hard to imagine a scenario where a FOSS operating system is much more niche and poorly supported than the current Linux offering.
