It’s only on Itanium hardware now which is super dead, which limits the ability for anyone to experience it

Their roadmap document is the most enthusiastic thing I’ve read about Itanium in the last decade: https://www.hpe.com/us/en/collaterals/collateral.4aa3-9071.H...

There was actually an x86 port of HP-UX.

It was not released.

Such a pity. HP-UX was pretty nice.

Um. So I think you're the first person I've ever encountered who had anything good to say for it. I never had the pleasure, so I'm working from second-hand accounts; what was good about it?

One nice thing was Ignite.

I really missed that, until I found ReaR.

I actually passed the HP-UX certification exam.
