That's not quite true. There is a version of Solaris for PCs. I don't think
it is superior to Linux but is a bit different and in some ways seems
inferior.  I don't think it is updated as frequently, its GUI seems a bit
more glossy and, of course, it costs money.
(Quite a bit...tho' under $500K I think.)
