Someone mentioned another OS. #curl has run on these 93 operating systems. Do you know of one not yet mentioned?
#curl
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

not sure if I don’t see it. But if openstep is mentioned shouldn’t it be running on NextStep as well?
in reply to ricardo_b

@ricardo_b probably, but I would like more proof than just "it seems reasonable to assume..."
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

totally agree, just lacking a NextStep machine to actually test it. *looks at tutorials running next in a VM*

"Wii System Software" is definitely more clear but it would be funny to have three OSes called "IOS" in the list
in reply to leo vriska

the wii u ships curl as an os component, there's also a homebrew 3ds port if that counts
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

the kernel has some similarities but is a rewrite and the userspace is completely different, so probably
in reply to Marcus Müller

@funkylab wow that is cool. Never saw that before. What is the actual OS name of that? Is there even an OS?
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

that's a fair question! I'd say it's TianoCore, but I've been wrong about that before. Maybe @Crofton knows?

Someone has to have used curl in some capacity on VisionOS at this point, right? I guess no way to know for sure.
in reply to Axman6 | 🇦🇺

@Axman6 Well, to be fair, #seL4 isn't an *Operating System*, it's an OS microkernel with BYO device drivers.
However, the Lions OS built on top of it should exit the vapourware phase by the end of the year 😉

@gernot Hopefully in the not too distant future by the sounds of it! Can anything really be called an OS if it can't run curl, after all?

@pH_0x05 and do you *know* that curl has run on IBM PC DOS ?

imagine dozens of nerds iterating over wikipedias list of operating systems to find #100
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

Everyone waiting for @bagder to reach 100 operating systems but actually the only important aspect is that it’s not a prime number for the list to fit nicely into a rectangle. 😉

99 did a very good job of 9×11 OSes. 100=10×10 will probably do just fine.

But dare you anyone submitting the 101st OS (prime number)! ☝️

Ok, I found old references mentioning getting curl working on nextstep. We are officially on 100. Time to rearrange the table again.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

You know, you _could_ count every Linux distribution as a separate operating system, if you wanted to. I'm absolutely certain nobody, exactly nobody, would complain, in any way, at all. Everyone would just silently agree and cheer!

I thought we were doing well when we started the Debian and RedHat projects. Come a long way since then.

$user@$router> show system software local
JUNOS Base OS Software Suite [20.2R3-S2.5]

$user@$router> start shell

Although technically, Juniper JUNOS is just FreeBSD under the hood...

in reply to mirabilos

@mirabilos @laffer1 are they different enough from the other BSDs to actually qualify as their own OSes? For example I only list "Linux", not a bazillion different distros.

Please note there are 2 iOS: the one, original, from Cisco for its routers, switches and the one from Apple.
Of course, I doubt curl has ever run on Cisco iOS.
