CRUX. Couldn't get it to install. Needed wireless drivers not included in the installation CD.
>>
I guess technically all the terminal applications I use at work run on z/OS.

BeOS

BeOS and Haiku, the latter being useful for a nice daily OS, it even has a package manager.

TempleOS

Windows 10 Phone, is probably the one I've used that had the lowest market share.

Most obscure today would probably be Geos, if that counts, or OS/2 Warp.

If exotic means sexy, than BeOS.

Lovebug OS, but I use 9front regularly.
>>
Windows codename Neptune
>>
Linux
>>
I used goobuntu before I switched back over to Arch because goobuntu is just Ubuntu with some stupid shit that Google likes to install on employee's computers. Had to reinstall a lot of their memeware but it's nice to have pacman back.
>>
>>62288690
GuixSD. It's very strange not having an etc full of configs and /bin not existing.
>>
>>62289306
Everyone knows what that is other than the most normalfag of normalfags.

QNX 6.4

Solaris

if you've used newer (95 and up) windows, 3.1 will feel very restrictive. in particular no X button, 8.3 filenames, no right-clicks, no windows explorer, and very limited file associations (yes back in the days before file associations, you had to open the program first, then go to file, open*)

* I think this is actually a very important concept that kids using tablet may not grasp. that when they tap an image, a program opens it, and it could be another program doing it. the notion that data and programs are separate, and programs are the ones that do the work on the data. hiding file extensions doesn't help.

my most exotic: prob solaris with kde 3

SunOS 5.9
still use it daily at work
>>
>>62288690
Genera (Symbolics Lisp Machine OS).
>>
>>62288690
Hikarunix. It was the strangest Linux distro that I've ever used in the sense that there was no package manager and it's primary purpose was to teach you how to play Go. For the short time I used it. it was nice.

>>62288690
Can't really even say anymore, none of them seem that excotic anymore after getting to know them.

A/UX? AIX? CP/M? IRIX?

Ubuntu
