I thought Unix was kinda like an operating system? Does Windows not count?
Unix is an operating system and there are a lot of other operating systems derived from it. Windows is one of the few operating systems that are not derived from Unix, although I suppose it would count if you setup WSL and riced it since it runs the Linux kernel.
Unix is a specific operating system, and there are a lot of operating systems based on it or derived from it (Linux, MacOS, BSD, and both Android and ChromeOS which are based on the linux kernel)
Here's a handy link to the Wikipedia page for unix. You may find the intro & history sections more useful than the stuff about what Unix is from a technical perspective, or how it works.
This may be sacrilege, but I don't mind seeing someone's Windows customizations here, though its not what the community is intended for
oh, I see. I saw that Windows was inspired by Unix while I was researching it, but it turns out that I'm wrong
Isnt unix inspired by the fact that windows is preprietary(i cant spell that) and people got tied of their bs
no, Unix was proprietary too
I I didn't know that
@Oliper202020 @Yoru no, UNIX had been around way longer than Windows, and it was also proprietary. If you in fact mean Linux, that started it as a hobby project that now runs over 90% of the internet and the majority of all smartphones (among other things).
Oh i didn't know that unix came before windows
Why this guy is getting downvoted for asking a question?
You should probably Google UNIX first...
I googled it before posting this, and it said Google was inspired by Unix so I thought it was fine :/
Google was.
But what about Windows?
sorry I typed that after I had just woken up LMAO
Quick, install a Linux distro to the Windows subsystem
