Linux isn't quite the same way, no. Though over the years, it is true that Linux has incorporated various Plan9 concepts (Plan9 is the progenitor of Inferno, roughly). In Linux, you often use sockets to communicate over the network, perhaps with sendmsg[1] to send data. On Inferno (as I understand it), everything is done via the standard filesystem operations of open/read/write/close. And that includes everything on the system - printers, mouse+keyboard, even the entire windowing system. [1] https://linux.die.net/man/2/sendmsg |
