π₯οΈπ Plan 9 from Bell Labs: the OS time forgot. Built by the UNIX team in the 80s/90sβeverything was a file, even the network. It lives on today as 9front π 9front.org

Used to build couch cushion forts & watch Conan the Destroyer on Saturday TV. Never saw the first one then, but I was hookedβthe mirror wizard scene & Dagoth battle stuck with me forever.
