From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Plan 9 is also monolithic, according to wikipedia. For BSD it depends.

I mean, you're right but I still want to see a modernized plan 9, I just think it would be neat.

that would be Inferno

Latest release was 9 years ago, not exactly what I'm looking for. 9front is probably closer to what I want than inferno.
