Read Warren Toomey's feature piece for IEEE Spectrum if you have any interest in Unix and/or Unix history. I also learned a great deal by following the link to Andrew Tanenbaum's overview of microkernels (misleadingly characterized as a "debate" with Linus Torvalds) that Mark B. Rosenthal included in the comments.
I've been using a Unix or Unix-like system since I started learning how to program. You're using a Unix system, too, if your computer is running Mac OS X (I think Apple still has the certification, anyway).
(Thanks to LongReads for the link.)
