    Linux is unix-like, macOS is certified unix.

      Certification is irrelevant really. There are Linux distribution releases which have been certified, just like MacOS.

          It would appear then that no MacOS before 14.0 Sonoma is a certified Unix. Which is obviously false. Which means that your implication that this page lists everything certified is wrong.

          I said “releases”, because these were specific versions a few years ago. Perhaps nothing relevant today was certified, still what I remember is not that different from the mundane Red Hat of the same year.

          Which is all useless talk cause when we say Unix as something important, we mean “genetic Unix”, as in something of being derived from the same code base, culture, philosophy, etc, not “legal Unix” as a trademark, because that’s not the only cool-looking word one can imagine to name an OS.

          So obviously BSDs are real Unix then, Linux is something weird and MacOS is bullshit.
