Linux was not muscled like that in 1991 - it's first, barebones kernel was released in September of that year.
I remember installing Linux on a 90MHz 486 in the mid 90s and it barely ran X server with a simple window manager. And if the machine was turned off while Linux was running, you might not be able to boot again.
Linux now, however, is unrecognizeably better.
I remember someone here made a detailed list of how lots of the early linux FOSS stuff was essentially ripoff of unix software lol. I think XFCE was originally a knockoff of CDE or something with XForms. Now it's the de facto performance DE and the default on Kali.
KDEβs name was a direct rip off of CDEβs name
XFCE's old panel was a distinct mimic of CDE's. I liked it..
But now CDE is open source and NsCDE gives you the same look with a highly customised fvwm config if you don't want to stick to the Motif universe.
Out of all those I only ever used Solaris and the most polite thing I can say is: I have no nostalgia for that time.
Actually Solaris is still squirming while the first shovels of dirt are being heaped on.
I used Solaris today. I've never been on BSD.
If you lament the death of AT&T Unix, blame IBM.
I liked OpenSolaris, you could order a free CD from their website and theyβd post it, even internationally.
I still have one of those! π
Didn't use it too much, tho. Never installed it on bare metal, only in a VM, and back in those days I was in my distro-hopping phase (I was discovering Arch), so I tested it and quickly forgot about it.
Thanks for digging it up and sharing the photo! It's nostalgic seeing this
We ran OpenSolaris as our NFS server for several years on ASUS Xeon servers. zfs was a big part of that. Ilumos is still alive and keeping the OpenSolaris world going in a small way.
Ubuntu did that too for a while. I had a kubuntu cd.
No love for temple os π’
OP rewrite this meme...right now! TempleOS or ban.
They may be dead, but we still have some amazing alternative OS's that exist that, as far as I'm aware, are still being updated. First thing that came to my mind was AROS ( Amiga Research Operating System that had to change the name to AROS Research Operating System ).
I personally don't use it since I don't use Amiga software, but it's still really cool. Under no circumstances would I recommend it as a daily driver because any software based around Amiga is purely hobby at this point, but it's still cool to check out.
2025: Linux
2026: GNU/Hurd
2030: Plan9
but why was mematic used if GIMP was used?
Probably the format had the watermark already baked in
Why are there only five headstones and two characters in the second panel when there are eight operating systems in the first panel?
SCO Unix still exists i guess
The ghost doesn't get a gravestone
GNU Hurd is technically alive, just horribly obsolete.
Sun.

Aww, I miss Solaris.
