Back in 1994 I saw one of these sons of bitches in a national TV studio where I was doing an internship. It was a huge deal for me as this was in bumfuck Eastern Europe a little while after my country kicked out the commie retards. Everyone and everything was poor as fuck so seeing one of these made my eyes water and made me feel like we're all gonna make it. The experience was surreal. The IT guys let me see a couple of demos, seeing IRIX do its thing live was the experience that single-handedly absolutely cemented my life's trajectory in dealing with IT, programming, sysadmin stuff. Fuck I'm old. Fuck I miss IRIX. Too bad the only thing truly close to what IRIX was back then is MacOS.
>>107824686what am I looking at here?
>>107824719A Silicon Graphics Indigo. They were true beasts in their time. They ran IRIX which was a SysV UNIX variant. They specialised in graphics and pioneered many technologies like IRIS GL which later became OpenGL. They were immensely expensive, which is why the experience was so surreal to me.
>>107824686>Too bad the only thing truly close to what IRIX was back then is MacOS.Have you ever looked at Haiku? I've always thought it seemed quite similar. macOS doesn't really have much in common with IRIX aside from being a commercial Unix(-like).
>>107825731I think they’re quite similar both functional, being proprietary Unix that is tightly coupled and suited for the hardware it runs in, but also philosophically with aesthetic coherence and the uses it’s made for. They’re both great at 3D art, scientific visualisation, development, media production etc. at least that’s my reasoning. That said irix was way more open and definitely assumed experienced admins instead of dumdum influencers and niggers which is why I think it’s a shame Mac is the only premium Unix available.

>>107824414>Retro Computers>That /g/ doesn't know aboutBreads about lisp vs emacs. I highly doubt there is retro computing tech that /g/ doesn't know about. They're wizards with their calculators even. I've seen some crazy emulators. Maybe some obscure Russki hardware? Spit balling that...
>retro computer OH MY SCIENCE IS THAT A RARE INDIGO APTIVA CUBE JR 64?! It runs at a whopping .12 microshartz and has .3 nanobits of RAM. It's soooooooo rare because only 5 were made and it flopped in the German market. It can even run Duke Nukem at 2 FPS!They just don't make em like they used to!
>>107827246>you're not allowed to like things
>>107827246>It's soooooooo rareIndys weren't rare though they were just expensive, every media company had them
>>107824414 (OP)I got stuff related to Amiga/MorphOS:* Amiga 500 with WB 1.2 ROM* 2 Mac mini G4, one with 32 MB of VRAM and other with 64 MBI assume my i7-7700, when assembled, will be slightly slower in floating point than a Pegasos 2 with 1.33 GHz, so that will be enough to use AmigaOS 4 with Qemu.
>>107827246>.12 microshartz and has .3 nanobits of RAMThat'd be too much for your skills, dumdum nigger.
