If you hear the term "open-source," you might think of Linux. However, Linux distros aren't the only open-source operating systems. There are plenty in use today besides Linux. Some date back to even before Linux existed.
Do you miss the days of Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/98? Do you wish there was a microkernel-based OS with retro aesthetics? If so, HelenOS is an oddly specific OS that you may want to check out.
Graphing calculators are handy in math and science courses, but they're expensive for a category that has changed very little since their introduction in 1985. Python lets you make plots of common equations and statistical graphs for free with the right libraries.
If you work on remote Linux sessions, you've probably felt the pain of your connection going down in the middle of a time-consuming operation. Or you may want to run more than one session over a single SSH connection. A terminal multiplexer may be what you're looking for.
Linux distros can seem boring when you've been using them for a while. Another one? Are you nostalgic for the 1990s and early 2000s? A little-known distro called EXE may be what you're looking for. Is it for you?
While Linux isn't strictly a text-only system, it has a reputation for making better use of plain text than any other operating system. While many tools cater to programmers, writers, and authors can also take advantage of these powerful tools. (They'll also work in the macOS and Windows Subsystem for Linux terminals.)
Would you want a distro that just gets out of the way and lets you get to work? Are you tired of making modifications just to use your Linux desktop? Ultramarine Linux might be your solution.
