            A rare sighting of a Plan 9 user! You need to be protected at all cost! Your species is extremely rare and important for future studies.

            BTW for a moment I was upset, because I thought this is a screenshot of Reddit. I kinda like the old look of it.

              It is called rio(1) and it comes with Plan 9.

            Out of curiosity, do you use it for fun, or does it provide you with some specific features?

              I use it because it’s truly a “complete system” in a way that Linux and even the BSDs are not – every program is an example in itself and it comes with a ton of various scratch-built utilities that you don’t usually find as part of a typical Linux distro. Stuff like a basic torrent or IRC client just sort of fall out of the way Plan 9 is organized and implemented.

              It also provides me with a distraction-free environment and a set of tools that I enjoy using, even if some aspects of Plan 9 as, say, a laptop daily driver are inconvenient or awkward. It really is better suited for networked computing.

              I was pretty much sold from first contact because Plan 9 is the way that I feel best matches what I’ve always wanted from my machines: a simple grid of networked appliances where I can route the various resources and hardware in whatever way I require.

                I wish someone would port Python and BorgBackup to it. Venti/Fossil are not quite as nice for multi-OS backups.

                  Python 2.5.1 was distributed as part of 9front back when it used hg, but it was ultimately removed from the base system once we switched over to git9.

                  I never bother with venti/fossil, honestly. I’m more of a cfws kind of person, but Ori’s gefs has been attracting my attention lately.

                    Venti/Fossil are awesome for a Plan 9 network. Sadly, the world isn’t Plan 9. TIL about gefs though.

                  If you ever want to just poke around a Plan 9 system, SDF Public Access UNIX System offers an ongoing Plan 9 Boot Camp.

                    What happens with the Plan 9 system after the boot camp has ended? From what I can see on that site, their Plan 9 shenanigans will end by mid-September. (SDF is NetBSD-centric AFAIK.)

      The “unknown” is Windows. If you change the graph to see the whole range from 2008 to date, you will see that whenever there’s a big spike or dip on Unknown, it’s the exact opposite for Windows.

        Additionally, for those that may want a Plan 9 that’s being actively developed and will actually work on modern hardware:

        https://9front.org

        There’s also 9legacy, which is basically “classic” Plan 9 with some patches from 9front.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
