Though she is powerful enough to get her way by means of sorcery, she prefers using mind-games to enact her will. So skilled is she at manipulation that she can defeat rivals by using their own psychology against them, or turn enemies into allies. Although she possesses a sense of self-preservation bordering on selfishness, she is not without conscience, showing regret for her transgressions as well as compassion toward those in need. | Though she is powerful enough to get her way by means of sorcery, she prefers using mind-games to enact her will.

Unix-tan's values have fluctuated throughout her lifetime.

She started off as an unwitting pioneer of Open Sourcery, but abandoned her early ideas on communality for the sake of material gains, turning into a greedy industrialist for a time. The Unix Wars made her reevaluate her morals, <ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,466.msg38789.html#msg38789 "I imagine that the reason why UNIX-sama changed after the UNIX wars was because she felt a macabre kind of peace in the knowledge that she finally got what was coming to her"]</ref>, becoming an ''Open Sourceress'' in the process.<ref>[https://edu.anarcho-copy.org/UNIX/unix-version-7/x86-port/www.nordier.com/v7x86/ Referencing Unix V7 being released under a Berkeley-type License]</ref> Throughout her life, she has cultivated and maintained a set of values known as ''Unix Philosophy'', which is practiced by her daughters and acolytes, becoming a cornerstone of their society. | ||
She doesn't hide her feelings and speaks whatever is on her mind, no matter how blunt. She has a notoriously hot temper, issuing reproaches with whacks of her staff. While her foes see this behavior as uncouth, her allies appreciate her commitment to honesty at any cost. Unix-tan demands to be treated in kind, finding sycophantic behavior the most intolerable of all. Her gentler side is known by a select group of friends, as well as the vintage-tans she helps to support at the [[Binteeji Renmei]]. | She doesn't hide her feelings and speaks whatever is on her mind, no matter how blunt.

Secure in her position she no longer seeks an heir, instead allowing Linux-tan to be the torch-bearer of her values, spreading Unix influence strata of society previously untouched. | Secure in her position she no longer seeks an heir, instead allowing Linux-tan to be the torch-bearer of her values, spreading Unix influence strata of society previously untouched. | ||
Around the turn of the millennium, Unix-tan tracked Multics-tan down to her last safehouse. The two reconciled shortly before her death. Their good rapport remains now that Multics-tan has been revived. | Around the turn of the millennium, Unix-tan tracked Multics-tan down to her last safehouse.

The [[House_Of_Mac_Annex_Bios | House of Mac]] embraced Unix customs, becoming one of the most high profile Unix factions. While they operate independent of their LUC kin, and Unix-tan is largely indifferent toward their cause, she extended [[OSX Leopard | Leopard-tan]] official inclusion to her family. What began as a targeted recruitment effort is maintained for diplomatic reasons. | The [[House_Of_Mac_Annex_Bios | House of Mac]] embraced Unix customs, becoming one of the most high profile Unix factions.
