i fucking love this look so much
(pictured: screenshots of SGI IRIX)
it felt so fancy
and the UI was incredibly snappy, very low latency for everything compared to consumer hardware

Some kinda large possum-dragon thing. I make art and games and worlds and code.
I also make and release music as b.trx!

i actually found a website some time ago that walks you through emulating SGI IRIX 6.5.22 in MAME of all things, lol
here's the link: https://sgi.neocities.org/
you might have better luck in something like QEMU or VirtualBox though
also: remember computers that wouldn't hide most of their contents from you
i had an iris indigo, long past it's era of usefulness. we didn't have room for it when we moved and no one would take it because it wasn't a pc.
so threw i it out.
i think i might have cried
And the famed 3D file browser!
Irix was quite good for writing snappy soft-realtime stuff in user mode.
yes!!!!!!! one of our classmates was like holy shit it's the Jurassic Park thing. and it was!
