This. I'm not sure why more people don't know this, but macOS is actually UNIX certified. Linux isn't.
Well, GNU stands for Gnu is Not Unix, so...
Yes, I know. That's why it's always kinda funny when you see Linux users shitting on MacOS for not being UNIX enough for their taste.
Linux isn't Unix, it's Unix-like
And that's part of what I like about it. I know how to operate in the terminal and it's the same in all Unix OSes.
It's one of the reasons I absolutely hate Windows. Nearly every OS uses some form of Unix. Android is Linux, iOS is based on XNU which is FreeBSD, macOS is also XNU, Linux is unix-like, all BSDs are Unix, even the OS used in the PS4 is FreeBSD and thus Unix. Windows is the only thing that's different.
Windows after hearing this:
Nah, Windows always does that on its own. No intervention required.
