JdeBP<a href="https://wandering.shop/@cstross" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@cstross</a> Indeed. The fact that it was a moving target from System 3 to System 5 (even from S5R2 to S5R4) has been forgotten a bit nowadays.People have this image of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unix</a> as some big stable thing with a definite "Unix way" of doing things, when the reality is that it was still changing even in the 1990s, and "the Unix way" is a somewhat nostalgic way of looking really only at the 1970s part.Innovation didn't stop after Berkeley ported to the VAX in the 1970s. Porting to PCs, and recognizing the fact that the universe didn't stop at the DEC VT100, caused a lot of new stuff, too.You'll probably remember SCO mscreen, the earliest date for which I can find is 1991. It knew that the more modern terminals that had come along since the 1970s supported multiple switchable pages of display memory. So it tried to make use of that instead of redrawing the screen, from scratch if necessary, when switching. Oliver Laumann's screen didn't do that.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unix</a>

JdeBP<a href="https://wandering.shop/@cstross" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@cstross</a> That's one of the things that is overlooked about Unix. There's a bit of a lost decade between the late 1970s and the late 1980s where *huge* things happened, but they've been totally forgotten about now, with (particularly because of more than a the decade that Linux spent reinventing it all based upon samizdat doco of early stuff) the world thinking that Unix ossified around 1979.Bill Joy wrote several more tools than have actually survived, for example, and xe wasn't the only source of innovation by any means.Unix got rid of getty in 1988, for another example, but there are people around today who will nonetheless confidently state that it's part of Unix terminal login because their information comes from (say) the Bach or Bourne books.It was a hugely innovative time, and the 1990s and early 2000s were not nearly as such, because so much effort was devoted instead to reinventing things that had already been invented in forgotten stuff, from the SAF to MMDF.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unix</a>

Francesco P Lovergine :debian:<a href="https://piaille.fr/@Zenie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Zenie</a> All this resembles a lot the past <a href="https://floss.social/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unix</a> wars. First of all, Linux is not systemd (multiple distributions prefer another init system), and I appreciate the <a href="https://floss.social/tags/guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guix</a> approach (which, BTW, has also Gnome but not systemd at all.). IMHO, Guix is far superior from multiple points of view. It is powerful, but not for anyone, and I would say the same for any BSD system (and even for Linux) out there. Unfortunately, the number of users makes a difference in multiple aspects.
