@symbology Wait, are we reviving the #VMS v #UNIX rivalry? Or is more of a #TOPS10 / #TOPS20 subtoot? Surely not an appeal to #multics, #its, or #os400 lovers.

@bkhan @imakefoss I use Linux 'cause unfortunately the BSDs didn't really take off as well* as Linux did and #SunOS, #VMS and #TOPS20 are not really viable options anymore.
