mossman@spitfire @b0rk yeah I wondered the same thing. It's not clear if Linux is being considered in this list...
Not that it matters in my case - I had the pleasure of goofing around on my dad's HP mainframe in the 1980s (and an ICL mainframe before that in the 1970s - don't know what that ran, but the punch cards made nice model aeroplanes...)

On ICL 1907 and 290x in the late 1970s the OS was called George 3/4.
It had sort of scripting on the commandline which I used to circumvent restrictions for students in online vs. batch compiling for reasons.
We had a very fast Algol-68 compiler from the royal radar department.
