I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn't know we already passed 4%.

Here’s another one for you, my reading comprehension-challenged Internet friend.

macOS is actually UNIX 03 certified. It doesn’t get any more UNIX than that. 😉

    I think people like to say it isn’t simply because they don’t agree with Apple.

    It’s UNIX but the way it’s set up both is and isn’t aligned with UNIX conventions, and it’s definitely off base with Linux despite the ease with which Linux utilities can be ported.

    Linux is quite an oddball in the UNIX world, tbh. It’s the most popular these days, and the one I’m most familiar with, but most Linux OSs are a lot more GNU than they are UNIX.
