Man I miss the real Solaris. Fuck Oracle. At least IRIX never turned to shit

Nedit - was a great simple editor i discovered on SGI IRIX, still use it today. Also, emacs is in a class of itself, it’s more OS than text editor 🤣

Orphan black - first season was amazing, it was an amazing concept. It was pretty clear the writers didn’t know wtf to do once they got a season 2+ and they choked imho

There was a saying years ago that still hold true to today - “Unix is user friendly, it’s just selective who it’s friends are”.

Years ago, I setup an SGI IRIX box for my parents to use, back when Netscape was browser king. I had it so customized for my parents that they still talk about how easy it was to use; problem for me was it took me months to figure out all the config tricks and X customizations to pull it off… Your post made me think of that lol
