In the 1970s Unix saw her first children created; among these, [[BSD | BSD]] and a panoply of lesser-known offspring. While Unix had originally been strongly anti-corporate and anti-proprietary – opting, instead, for a philosophy of freedom and self-determination – the direction of her company turned her slowly away from her bohemian roots and into a capitalist businesswoman. As her power and influence grew, conservative and free-spirited OS-tans alike rallied against her; but it was too late, Unix was too powerful. She and her family demolished many of these critics and destroyed ancient and long-held customs and cultures across the land.

During the mid 1980s, infighting spread among Unix cultures in an attempt to secure factional supremacy and a unified society; this sparked the Unix Wars, years of relentless attrition that nearly destroyed the Unixes from within. [[FreeBSD | FreeBSD]], drafted into the war, defected to form her own faction; likewise, [[Plan9 | Plan 9]] – Unix's heir – abdicated the thrown. By the early 1990s, [[Linux | Linux]], a young but powerful Unix-like was universally loathed by the Unix-tans, who believed she would bring further instability – and a possible death blow – to their kind. Unlike the others, Unix saw Linux as their potential salvation; together they formed a mutually beneficial alliance that lasts to this day. Unix has returned to her roots for the most part and is happier because of it.
