=== Relationships === | === Relationships === | ||
== | ==== Cray-1 ==== | ||
IRIX-tan is one of the few microcomputer OS-tans to have a relationship of any recognizable sort with a mainframe OS-tan — namely [[CRAY-1|Cray-1]]-tan — which began when SGI purchased Cray in 1996. Despite [[UNIX]]-tan's prohibition of mainframe worship, and Cray-1-tan's hatred of UNIX, She sees IRIX-tan as a wayward follower, and is one of the few “mortals” in whose presence She will drop Her aloof demeanor. Since the buyout & subsequent spinoff of Cray, the two have bonded over their mutual love of art, aesthetics, and fashion design, which manifests in part in IRIX-tan wearing dresses made by Cray-1-tan. | |||
==== DOS-based Windows OS-tans ==== | |||
IRIX-tan is enraged by the institutionalized racism of the [[Windows Family]], which paints the UNIX matriline as an underclass at best and subhuman at worst. This may, however, be changing of late, with developments such as [[Windows 10]]-tan's embrace of Linux, which is reflected in the creation of compatibility sourcery that allows her to run some Linux programs. | |||
==== Linux ==== | |||
IRIX-tan has a complicated relationship with [[Fedora]]-tan, [[SuSE-Linux|SUSE-tan]], and [[Linux]]-tan, as well as the Linux-based OS-tans in general. The four are friendly with one aother, but IRIX-tan does feel slighted by their status as replacements for her. She also shares with [[Debian]]-tan a love for Pixar films — they were produced using IRIX-tan's graphical sourcery and give a source of codenames for new releases of Debian. | |||
While SGI has made several contributions to the code base of, and sourcery available to, Linux-based OS-tans, they are responsible in some part for SGI's downfall, as the strength of Linux- and [[BSD]]-based OS-tans' massively parallel sourcery began to meet or exceed IRIX-tan's own, eating into SGI's core markets and rendering her less commercially attractive. Linux also contributed to two other major blows to IRIX-tan's popularity: the porting of Maya, a popular 3D graphics application-tan, to it along with [[OSX|Mac OS X]] & [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], and an abortive switch by SGI from the MIPS architecture to Itanium. | |||
==== SCO UNIX ==== | |||
IRIX-tan harbors deep-seated hated for [[SCO Unix|SCO UNIX-tan]], owing to a vitriolic dispute in 2003 in which she publicly alleged that some of the source code that SGI had contributed to [[Linux]]-tan had been illegally copied from [[UNIX]]-tan. While analysts went over both OS-tans' code listings and discovered that no illegal copying had taken place, this did nothing to disabuse SCO UNIX-tan of the belief or increase the standings of IRIX- or Linux-tan in her estimation. | |||
==== Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Red Hat ==== | |||
IRIX-tan's relationship with [[Windows NT]]-tan, [[Windows 2000]]-tan, and [[RedHat|Red Hat Linux-tan]] is friendly, if at times contentious. They first met when SGI introduced a line of workstations that could run the latter three operating systems, and hit it off quickly, even though those workstations could be said to have been a mistake in retrospect. Additionally, IRIX-tan's relationship with NT- and 2000-tan is marred by NT-based OS-tans' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Cutler#Attitude_towards_Unix creator-imparted] instinctual disdain UNIX-based OS-tans, which manifests itself regularly, aggravating IRIX-tan. | |||
