        MacOS is actually the only desktop OS that’s officially a Unix OS (meaning it’s officially certified). The others are mostly mainframe OSes. https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/

        Linux is “Unix-like”, but it’s not actually Unix. Linux was inspired by Minix, not by Unix.

        People sometimes confuse Unix with POSIX. MacOS is also fully POSIX compliant whereas Linux is mostly POSIX compliant (but don’t think it’s quite 100% especially with newer POSIX standards).

      My brother tried to use his macbook to put spongebob on the TV and it wouldn’t let him due to drm reasons. Don’t let this shit become the new normal. It’s GNU Linux or nothing for me.

      Doesn’t MacOS have more in common with BSD than Linux?

        Yes but idiots think that macOS is Linux because they don’t wanna know the distinction to Unix-like.
