    And the Linux / Unix-specific ecosystem & technology arguments therein.

        Because everybody knows who it’s made by (one of the biggest corps who hates freedom). Just because one brick of a building is open source doesn’t mean the entire building is great.

        Might as well promote a Chinese Linux distro and ignore the possible implications of its source.

              You responded to “macOS is UNIX” with “it’s not open source”. I’m just illustrating how these 2 things are not correlated.

              In any case, macOS is based on OpenBSD. Even the original BSD, which OpenBSD is based on, was not initially open source.

              Everything you said was a straw man.

            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.
