I'm proficient and comfortable enough on any OS. I own no systems currently running Windows. And I don't really care for Apple. And I'm not currently running BSD or Unix.

Would you like to guess again?

It’s been a while since I’ve encountered a TempleOS user

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

TempleOS?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 39 minutes ago

Beat me to it 🤣

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

OS/2, surely. Or maybe BeOS?

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

BeOS? Oh dear, no.

I could see running Haiku.

Just kidding, no way!

[–] anewfox@lemmy.zip 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

you're obviously using novell netware.

c'mon, give us a hard one next time.

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

That brings back a memory. I got banned from the computers in highschool because I sent a message to everyone on the network using netware. They called me a hacker. It's literally just clicking the system tray icon and go into like send message... The message? "Hello World!"

"Said hello to 1,507 systems at once... front page of the New York Times!"

Well at least you didn't hack a Gibson

[–] EnchiladaRaisins@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

"Hack the planet!"

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

I swear I've seen either Zero Cool or Acid Burn around here somewhere.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't say "I'm not currently running Apple", just said "I don't really care for Apple", therefore you may be using Apple, without caring for it.

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 2 points 12 hours ago

Phone runs Android. I used to work as an Applecare Advisor supporting iOS and OS X.

Guix! … does guix count as a unix derivative?

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I do suppose Linux is a Unix derivative. So you're closest. But no cigar.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Linux is like Unix but not derivate

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Heavily inspired by? I understand that Linux is not derived from Unix source code. But the system architecture... Is extremely similar and in many ways functionally the same.

In art, music, literature, architecture, and ideas, something can be derivative because it inherits a form, vocabulary, conventions, conceptual framework, or design tradition from something earlier.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but in this case it's called a "unix-like system" it's derivated if Linus copied or studied Unix code which i don't think(correct me if i am wrong) happened

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 1 points 12 hours ago

Every fork is a derivative work, but not all derivatives are forks.

Plan 9?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

Redox OS?
