@BRicker I don't think it's really diverged much. #SunMicrosystems begat #OpenSolaris. Then Oracle unbegat it and the community begat #IllumOS by forking the last free release. There are then a bunch of distributions like #OmniOS and #Tribblix.

Truth be told, I'm kinda getting into #Solaris again, for the first time since the initial #OpenSolaris excitement.

Wie beliebt ist eigentlich #OpenIndiana / #Illumos als #OpenSolaris-Fortführung? Man hört so wenig über #Solaris. Ich würde naiv meinen, das müsste doch höhere Produktreife als FreeBSD haben. Solaris war doch eines der coolsten UNIX’.

I have also made an alternative theme for OpenSolaris if I wanted to use that theme. Personally I would take one with text included. Which version do you like best?

I have made my own Plymouth Theme based on the original Novell logo and added the old spinner. Last updated: sudo update-initramfs -u

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!
People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.
Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!

My alternative OpenSolaris inspired deskop with original wallpaper. One with and one without logo, Nimbus icons and Neutral Plus mouse pointer. Of course desktop layout dos not look like OpenSolaris at all.

We just provide #BSD like #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #dragonflybsd #midnightbsd and several other ones, but also #opensolaris with #tribblix #omnios #openindiana. So, we’re also pretty niche and that’s totally fine ;)

OpenIndiana 25.06 | A GhostBSD Users perspective 👀 / Robonuggie

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!
* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)
This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

Została wydana nowa wersja OpenIndiana 2025.10 „Hipster”. OpenIndiana to otwartoźródłowy system operacyjny z rodziny UNIX, powstały na bazie nierozwijanego OpenSolaris. OpenIndiana jest częścią Illumos Fundation, do której należy również uniksowy system operacyjny Illumos. https://linuxiarze.pl/openindiana-2025-10/ #unix #solaris #opensolaris #illumos

I wonder... now that we've seen Red Hat under IBM's auspices for a few years, how would have IBM buying Sun (instead of Oracle) back in the day panned out?
-
Can someone tell me the advantage in using #OpenIndiana / #OpenSolaris over Linux / FreeBSD? Con: no #elixir or #erlang on board

Solaris 10 was a total revelation back in the day. Kids these days will never witness something like that.
Cynicism has killed most of genuine curiosity.

#IllumosCafe Hopes To Reinvigorate Interest In Illumos/OpenSolaris Derived Platforms
It's been 15 years since #Illumos project was formed as based on the #OpenSolaris codebase after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems and closing down OpenSolaris. Illumos Cafe is a new effort akin to BSD Cafe aiming to be a resource and helping to reinvigorate interest in Illumos-based platforms.

Opening Day for #OpenSolaris was 20 years ago today, June 14, 2005.

Gerade bin ich zufällig auf #OpenIndiana gestoßen – #OpenSolaris lebt weiter! Es ist großartig, dass solche Projekte dank der Community weiterhin existieren.

Tomorrow the #opensource #FOSDEM #conference starts in #Brussels, #Belgium!
Let’s see if we can attract more people to #BSD based systems by providing free #vps running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #illumos as an #opensolaris solution.
@gyptazy will be onsite to provide you more information or even stickers ;)

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the first publication of #OpenSolaris source code with the #DTrace source release:

We just added a free #loadbalancing service to #BoxyBSD!
This new feature got added by @gyptazy in addition to the newly introduced #NAT64 gateways to make your life easier and is currently tested with a few users! This provides you the ability to make your website also reachable by #IPv4 even your box is only running on #IPv6. This feature can be managed from your self-service portal and simply requires you to add a DNS name that should be balanced and to point the DNS A record to a given IPv4.
Making the legacy internet life easier, we hope for a higher #BSD adaption where people might be more motivated to try #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #opensolaris with #illumos.

@lonjil @landley maybe #Google as a Corporation doesn't beg for money whilst offering millions in paychecks?
Granted, they finance it with their #Adware aka. #Browser and selling off users' data being member if the #PRISM program which AFAIK is still operational and none of the #GAFAMs ever apologized for!
But maybe that's quite hyperbolic from my POV...
What is needed however is real competition that is cross-platform and just works.
Whether one uses #Gecko or #WebKit or whatever is kinda irrelevant.
( I can also use #LynxBrowser but we can all agree that none of the "#TechIlliterates" and "#Normies" would accept that level of feature regression nowadays!)Google may have droppted their "#DontBeEvil" #Canary but at least Google's #FLOSS-licensed code is 'salvageable' in the worst-case scenario just like #OpenSolaris's & #OpenOffice's code got salvaged into the #illumos and #LibreOffice projects respectably when #Oracle was allowed to buy #Sun and went full "asshole mode" on #OpenSource projects (which is why I don't trust #OracleLinux and won't use it!)...

@geraldew @RTP @linux @torvalds @landley
The whole #GPL & #GPLv2 issue for example makes it basically illegal to build a #Linux kernel that can boot straight from #ZFS because #OpenZFS's code inherited from #OpenSolaris (now #illumos) is under #CDDL and thus when you install zfs-#dkms it gives you a big warning saying 'this is basically illegal so we've to make it a loadable module instead'...
And that's just out of the top of my head...
