I thought Mac was unix which is similar but different from Linux?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

They're both UNIX-like, i.e. they both implement the POSIX specification and are therefore in many ways compatible.

But yeah, modern macOS is more directly derived from the original UNIX operating system.
Linux was instead implemented from scratch to be compatible with UNIX.
