Contrasting with her expertise in various fields of science and engineering, she is terrible at domestic tasks, and her attempts at cooking often turn into dangerous 'science experiments'. | Contrasting with her expertise in various fields of science and engineering, she is terrible at domestic tasks, and her attempts at cooking often turn into dangerous 'science experiments'. | ||

That gives her a tremendous hardware base to draw power from, which includes the nuclear power plants powered by QNX, but she is reluctant to use that power since she already has several responsibilities, finds it to be more of a burden than it's worth, and is afraid of getting corrupted by it. | ||

====Unix Family==== | ====Unix Family==== | ||
She is overall ambivalent towards the Unix Family, and has had a love-hate attitude towards them ever since her early life. From the beginning she admired Unix's philosophies and strived to be just like her. As she learned more about Unix as a person and her family, she grew disillusioned, noticing that Unix strayed far from her ideals, the hypocrisy of her daughters, and their in-fighting. The Unix Wars further disillusioned her. | |||
During the Unix Wars, she was drafted to fight and serve as a medic, but was mistreated and discriminated against by the full-blooded Unices who considered her inferior for being 'just' a 'Unix-like' and not a full-blooded Unix OS-tan. For years, she had grown to despise most of them except for their defectors. Allegedly, she intentionally neglected Solaris' very sickly younger sister Spring OS-tan, whom Solaris trusted her with, and left her to die. | |||
Years have passed, and she doesn't hate them anymore. Some of them now respect her for the power and influence she gained after the wars, though they might not admit it outright because of their strict, bloodline-based family structure. She hardly ever sees them though, being busy with her work. | |||

Blackberry-tan became QNX's boss in 2010 and urged her to enter the mobile market. QNX-tan shows some discontent towards her, since her venture into the mobile market under Blackberry's orders went poorly. However, she is grateful that Blackberry-tan still grants her some autonomy, referencing the QNX communities that were allowed to continue since then. | |||
====Others==== | |||
After leaving open sorcery to be a proprietary, commercial OS again, some of the open source OS-tans see her as a traitor. | |||

In 2010, corresponding with RIM buying out QNX, Blackberry-tan became her boss. QNX-tan gave up on open sorcery to be a fully-commercial OS again, but still acknowledges her hobbyist followers. | |||
Entering the mobile market, she and Blackberry-tan were competing against Windows Mobile, iOS and Android. Their venture didn't go well, the Playbook running QNX wasn't, and still isn't very successful, but QNX-tan and Blackberry-tan will try again as they are still competing. | |||
In her spare time, when Blackberry-tan doesn't need her, QNX-tan continues her various engineering work. | |||
