Started using Solaris 7 in college when Sun made it available for free. All you had to do was fill out a web form! I absolutely loved it. To this day it remains my favorite OS to use. I love macOS and its ease of use (plus its Unix-ish support) but there's something about Solaris that always made me feel like I was doing "real" work.

What are your needs that it would fit? Oracle have you by the database?

It’s great for ZFS and for Zones, including Linux zones.

I haven't used Solaris since the last time I used it for work over 10 years ago. Agree ZFS and Zones are both exceptional, I would still use Solaris now where it made sense.

It remains one of my favourite UNIX as well, back in the day I mused even to buy one of those Toshiba that came with Solaris.

Other than a others like Irix, QNX or NeXTSTEP, I am not picky in what form UNIX/POSIX gets made available.
