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