What is Plan9? Is is an OS... or a kernel... or a set of utilities? I've been sorta interested in it in the past, but have no idea where to start.
Plan 9 is an operating system first released in 1992 that was developed by Bell Labs as a successor to UNIX.
Shown above is 9front, which is a modern fork where basically all new Plan 9 development happens.
I would suggest starting somewhere like here to get an idea of what it's about, as well as checking out this video from one of 9front's core contributors.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
