    Whatever was on th ZX81, then Spectrum.
    Then TOS on Atarti ST
    Then CPM
    Then DOS something early, and VMS.
    Then some very early MacOS, and SunOS
    Then Xenix, DOSes 3, 4, 5, and 6.
    Then Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11 for workgroups.
    Then Linux something brutally raw that I didn't install myself, and Solaris
    Then Win NT 3.5, and HP-UX
    Then WIn 95 and Win NT 4.0
    Then another later MacOS,
    Then Linux Slackware, Redhat, and Suse
    Then Linux debian 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
    During which OSX
    Then whatever Moto had on their phones, S40 and Symbian
    Then Maemo and Harmattan
    Then Gentoo,
    Then Devuan.

    If there's a straight and simple upgrade path between those, I'll not count them as different (So I count 2 windows, 2 Macs, 5 desktop/server linuxes), so I think that's about 20+, but 5 were phone OSes and shouldn't count were it not for 2 of which I use as a computer (n900 and n950), so counting them.

    Call it 18?
