A curated awesome-list exploring UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux, BSD, macOS, Illumos, and Plan 9 derivatives. It collects links on UNIX history, standards, philosophy, distributions, and learning resources.
Use cases
- find a curated list of unix-like operating systems
- learn about unix history and the unix philosophy
- compare linux bsd and illumos distributions
- find resources for learning unix and posix standards
- discover plan 9 derivatives and historic unix systems
- find unix programming and community resources
When to choose
- you want a broad curated index of UNIX and UNIX-like OS resources
- you are researching UNIX history, standards, or philosophy
- you are choosing a Linux or BSD distribution and want an overview
When to avoid
- you need a software tool rather than a link collection
- you need in-depth tutorials rather than curated links
- you need up-to-date reviews of each distribution
