Plan 9 is an operating system first released in 1992 that was developed by Bell Labs as a successor to UNIX.
Shown above is 9front, which is a modern fork where basically all new Plan 9 development happens.
I would suggest starting somewhere like here to get an idea of what it’s about, as well as checking out this video from one of 9front’s core contributors.
