I feel like if Sun had come out on top (instead of fucking Oracle), the tech space might be a better place

If they'd released the x86 version of Solaris when it became clear that SPARC couldn't keep up with Intel and AMD that could have been a possibility.

Solaris was such an amazing OS.

Does oracle own the Solaris code now?

That's my understanding. It's a long time ago but I believe they bought out Sun when they were facing bankruptcy.
