At some point in my career, I was responsible for Solaris (from 2.5 to 10), AIX (I don’t recall the versions of this, but we had RS/6000s), HP-UX (10 to 11i), IRIX (5.3 to 6.5), Linux (probably kernel 2.0 days to the present?), NextOS, macOS X, and now mostly
Linux. Never touched Digital, and I can’t remember if there are any others that exist that I just forgot I dealt with. I don’t feel like one was significantly worse than any of the others, honestly, except you ran into compatibility problems on stuff like
HP-UX because it was less common.

<div>I have a soft spot for SGI’s “inst” packaging system, and their stuff always made neat noises. I too used an IRIX Desktop as my workstation for many years (eventually, an Indy got too slow to do much web browsing).<br>

<p>Nah ... that honor belongs to HPUX or AIX. If you used them, you would understand.

<p>Irix was my daily driver for ~7 years, until 1999 when I switched to Linux (and stayed there up to this day).
