Like the Linux-tans and many "contemporary" OS-tan societies, the Unixes reproduce via exogenesis, meaning large numbers of offspring can be created quite easily and with little personal involvement from their genetic-donors. As such, Unix-tan has found herself with hundreds of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom have varying levels of relationship to their "matriarch" due to extensive genetic manipulation.

 

An exception to this attitude is the interest she shows in Mac OS X Leopard-tan. Uncharacteristically, Unix reached out to the OS X family after the birth of Leopard and later offered to become a patron to the young genius, going as far as granting her status as a full-blooded Unix (via the Single Unix Specification), putting her among an elite few. Later, Unix revealed her interest was not entirely altruistic; she funded Leopard's education and research in physics in an attempt to spark the creation of time travel technology which Unix could co-opt for her own purposes, specifically performing inter-temporal reconnaissance to ensure the continued success of the Unix race.  

While originally convinced that the Linux-tans would displace and destroy her family as her family had done to earlier generations of computers, sometime toward the end of the Unix Wars Unix-tan realized that the salvation of her people and their way of life lies with the Linux family. She adopted [[Linux]]-tan into her society and since then the young open sourceress has ascended high in the Unix hierarchy, becoming something of a ''right-hand man'' to Unix herself.

Linux and Unix-tan's relationship stretches far beyond the professional. Although their first meeting was fraught with mutual distrust, they quickly came to develop a deep respect for one another - admiration that slowly gave way to affection, at first platonic, but later romantic. There have been many hints that this is due to their many shared experiences and complementary personalities making them akin to soul mates. Although Unix-tan kept her feelings toward Linux to herself for years in fear of ruining their professional relationship and friendship, she and Linux eventually confessed their love for each other and entered into a relationship, albeit one carried on in secrecy to avoid politically trouble with their oftentimes opposing sub-factions.  

Unix is generally compassionate toward the Vintage-tans, partially out of regret for her role in destroying the lives of so many OS-tans that came before her, partially out of a sense of charity for the less powerful and capable in society. She has shown her compassion and desire to make amends by funding [[Amiga]]-tan's creation of the Binteji Renmei, a society dedicated to saving outdated and abandoned OS-tans from a world often uncaring, and sometimes outright hostile, to their kind.
