Like ATheOS? Changed name to syllable, I know, but don't like that name as much.

Shame it's not developed enough to actually use.

>>52622583
HPUX wasn't experimental or niche at all though. It was very much a production Unix, with a sizeable party of its market. Still in use today in all sorts of industrial and medical systems.

Plan9 and Hurd

>>52625547
The only interesting thing about Hurd is how a project can be in alpha for 30 years.

No OpenSolaris? And new fork OpenIndiana
Still dobt have reson to run it exept vm, but its kinda nice

>>52626691
See above illumOS and XstreamOS are the new opensolaris/openindiana

>>52626796
OpenIndiana is still active though

>>52626811
Seems they've restarted, good for them.

Very noob question. If I fall for the Arch meme and I put in a partition of the disk can I get it in the entire disk later without formating?

does OSX count?

>>52629120
brotip for archbabbies:
buy a new harddisk, install Arch on that one, that way you don't fuck up your previous OS

>>52629120
Welcome to 4chan Sandeep, you almost made it into the right thread! Maybe next time!

>>52629134
OS X is a unix, but it isn't experimental or obscure.

>>52629143
I will better be using it in VMware before I go full Arch

I have Gentoo running on Raspi that only boots up Emacs which boots SLIME which starts SBCL and then I imagine I have Lisp Machine, it's also hooked to 15" CRT and I gave it only 1GB sdcard as harddisk.

Haiku OS

There are so many...

>>52620034
WTF how did you get Minix to use X? I tried in a Vbox and I could never get it to work.

However, there is NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, which is what eventually became OS X.

>>52625015
>>52625189
It actually looks aesthetically better than windows 10

>>52622500

It's actually a clone of MINIX which is a rough estimate of UNIX.

Speaking of Apple and Unix, there's also AU/X, which is basically UNIX with the classic Mac OS UI on top (you can also use a console emulator or pure X11 environment).

Arguably, a better UNIX than OS X since it doesn't try to hide all the UNIX shit from the user. Too bad it got killed by the 68k to PPC transition, probably because Apple didn't have the resources to rewrite AU/X for PPC.

>>52629278
>OS X is a unix, but it isn't experimental or obscure.
So download Darwin. Bolt on your own gui.
Be brave. Try KDE for Darwin.

>>52622815
Too bad it's a proprietary, incompatible Amiga clone that only runs on a handful of aging PPC systems. You can get much the same look on AROS.

>>52629616
they booth look like shit.

My favourite feature from AU/X is pic related.

I would have loved a learning tool like this when I was originally taking the plunge into using Linux.

>>52629765
I'll probably try this in a VM one day if I get really bored.

I didnt ask about that... I know the OS!

Anyone here used proprietary UNIX like AIX or HP-UX? What are they like?

This is actually pretty usable.

OpenTTD compiled fine without too much effort, hardware (elitebook 2560p) mostly works including WiFi, 2d accelerated graphics, but not quite audio.

Shall become yet another OS to shitpost from.

If Haiku got better audio drivers and OpenGL hardware acceleration I would put the 64 bit version on my Thinkpad as soon as they finished the Emacs port. Did they ever fix webm support in WebPositive?

>>52622603
This kinda looks like an Amiga OS 3.1 clone.

>>52622815
MorphOS will run on a lot more hardware than AmigaOS4, though. Almost any G4 mac will suffice, and it's not like those are difficult to source.

>>52629733
>>52629931
Reminds me that I should play with A/UX now that I have a 68k mac again.

>>52631956
Hardware accel is a pipe dream for R1. Once the Wayland guys push a full libGL path into Mesa that doesn't require X11, then Haiku can rebase their OpenGL stuff on that version of Mesa and make it a reality for R2.

Some Silicon Valley company retroactively made their OS POSIX compliant. Worst part: they've been on the same version for 15 years.

>>52640017
>Worst part: they've been on the same version for 15 years
They're on the 12th version right now.

>>52640075
No a lot of the POSIX stuff is literally the same version. The GNU tools haven't been updated at ALL since 2007 except a couple of backported patches.

>>52641177
>The GNU tools haven't been updated at ALL since 2007 except a couple of backported patches
Because Apple cannot legally distribute GPLv3 software with OS X. It's not that Apple's neglecting to update these programs to newer versions, it's that they actually can't.

>>52629733
They're is an emulator specifically designed to run A/UX called shoebill BTW.

lol wut. citation needed.

>>52622434
surprised it is even allowed to access google

>>52642666
Why wouldn't it be?

It has a lot of goverment tracking shit in it, but at the same time it aims to be a secure OS and it's even likely there aren't any (internet-facing) backdoors. There's even a utility for users to encrypt their files.
