操作系统:时间轴和家族树
本文译自:Operating Systems: Timeline and Family Tree
摘要:各操作系统出现的时间轴,各操作系统之间的关系、操作系统家族关系,如常见的:Unix、FreeBSD、iOS、Mac OS、OpenBSD、类 Unix、Linux、Android、CentOS、Debian、Fedora、Oracle、Red Hat、SuSE、Ubuntu、CP/M、DOS、VMS、Windows、AmigaOS、RISC、IBM大型机、L4、OSEK等。
到目前为止包括大约 850 个操作系统
上次更新时间:2022 年 1 月
在这篇文章中,您将找到操作系统的家谱和时间表。我试图包括所有操作系统,无论多旧或晦涩难懂。当然,一个完整的列表几乎是不可能的,因为没有办法对所有可能存在的微小爱好和嵌入式系统进行编目。
另请注意,我只收录了几个选定的 Linux/BSD/Solaris 发行版(这些发行版是否应该单独算作操作系统是有争议的)。
目前,家谱包括 800 到 900 种不同的操作系统。提示:使用 Ctrl+F(在 Mac 上为 Cmd+F)搜索系统。
此图中的操作系统包括:
