My cousin 3 times removed was Alexander Graham Bell, so I can't help but only use Arch Linux today and have an utter fascination with everything UNIX.

So what did Linus Torvalds do with it. ?

This seems an odd view of the history of Unix. Most of the the early proprietary versions of Unix - the ones installed on expensive workstations designed for high-end users - faded away long ago. What's interesting about Unix is how it morphed into Linux, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android - thereby becoming a core part of devices used by billions of people. One of the interesting chapters in that history, not mentioned in the video, is role of Steve Jobs and NeXT Inc. in pushing Unix-based computing forward. Another is the role of DEC minicomputers in early development of Unix. (I began using Unix at UC Berkeley in 1980. I began using a Mac computer in 1984. One of my colleagues got one of the early NeXT cubes. Other colleagues used Unix workstations from Sun, etc. I was surrounded by Unix throughout the 1980s and continuously thereafter. In 2023 all of my computing devices have still Unix under the hood.)

So not only AIX is still developed today. but all BSDs including MacOS.

why do you use distortion effects in your video? to disturb and distract watchers?

The BSD variants are my favorite Unix descendant notably FreeBSD and OpenBSD. You did mention NetBSD, but you forgot to mention DragonflyBSD which is a fork of FreeBSD. It's a smaller project, but extremely capable and has it's own filesystem called the Hammer filesystem.

You forgot Digital Equipment Corporation, at it’s day it was the second largest computer company after IBM. DEC had their BSD system 4.2 allied Ultrix that ran on the VAX platform and MIPS R3000 series, later they produced a system V release called OSF1 for their Alpha chip.

The only thing that I know that Unix and Linux are operatingssystems and that I worked with those.

UNIX/Linux has been a significant part of my life. Started out with a SunOS shell account in the early 90s, quickly installed Linux... parlayed that experience into a career as a UNIX admin, doing work with many flavors... AIX, HP-UX, DEC, IRIX. Thanks.

What a weird view of the history of UNIX. Focused on many things that are more niche and missing many major innovations that came from UNIX. Berkeley UNIX gave UNIX TCP/IP networking and virtual memory. SunOS gave us NFS and NIS, the Network File System and Network Information Service. NFS is still in widespread use. SUSE Linux was and still is a niche flavor of Linux. Cray's glory days are before their computers ran any flavor of UNIX. By the time Cray started building cluster based super computers, they were just one of many vendors doing the same think. Much of the cluster work originated with Project Beowulf.

Fun video! Thanks for posting! In college, I used SunOS. Once I started working professional, I got to use HP-UX, Solaris (on SPARC), AIX and z/OS. We had access to "OpenEdition" but I never used it. :)

HP, SUN and SGI all started out on Motorola 68x00 CPUs with their Unix flavors. HP-PA, SPARC and MIPS only came later.

Well done! I loved that little gotcha at the end that shows to the world that Apple runs on Unix.

I logged on to my first Unix shell in 1986, an NCR tower to which 32 terminals had been attached running System V. Coming from an IBM system 36/38 background (and Microsoft of course) I saw what could be. It was a great career, after NCR, I ran a national network of 400 terminals in 30 cities running Burroughs BTOS systems hosting a Unix guest, my first VM experience. I learned to repair file systems using fsdb, which no one else could do. From there to a SCO Open Desktop network running TVP/IP, replacing a mainframe app. After grad school to a Sun shop right at the beginning of the commercialism of the nascent Internet. I never really saw the winners in the game being a broke father of four just trying to put dinner on the table but Unix has been very very good to me, easy engaging work for exceptionally good money. Today I have some Macs and Linux boxes, and one (Gag) Windows box for a game I never play. It’s an impossible operating environment.
