I thought Unix was kinda like an operating system? Does Windows not count?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

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

I I didn't know that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should probably Google UNIX first...

[–] Yoru 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I googled it before posting this, and it said Google was inspired by Unix so I thought it was fine :/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Google was.

But what about Windows?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Quick, install a Linux distro to the Windows subsystem
