Linux and Mac are the same thing, prove me wrong.
linux = linux, mac = unix/thread
>>106647532Isn't Linux Unix, too?
they're the opposite of each other.Linux = do what you wantMac = do what Steve Jobs wantsalso Linux was created because SCO Unix was so expensive
>>106647572Linux Is Not UniX
>>106647629>they're the opposite of each other.>Linux = do what you want>Mac = do what Steve Jobs wantsThat's only because Mac is not open source, they are only opposite in principle.
>>106647572The operating system is literally called "GNU's not UNIX"
>>106647655Then can you explain what the difference is?It really looks to me that Linux is just UNIX with extra shit added on top of it. Like how MS-DOS, DR-DOS, ROM-DOS, etc, were all pretty much just rebranded PC-DOS.
>>106647702I don't care what it's called, I only care how it functions.
>>106647712Technically, an OS has to be certified and meet all the specifications required to be considered UNIX.https://www.opengroup.org/certifications/unix
>>106647835And then?...
>>106647498retard
>>106647629>also Linux was created because SCO Unix was so expensivetfw Linux was around (1991) before UNIX was sold to SCO (1995)
>>106647894Can you explain how I am a retard, or do you not have any way to support your baseless claims?
>>106647498That's an excellent and very common question! The short answer is:**No, Linux and macOS are not the same thing.** However, they are close cousins with a very important shared ancestor.Think of it like this: They are different branches of the same family tree.---### The Key Similarity: They're Both "Unix-Like"The reason they feel similar (especially when using the Terminal) is that both their core architectures are based on the principles of **Unix**, an operating system developed at Bell Labs in the 1970s.* **macOS** is built on a foundation called **Darwin**, which is a direct, certified Unix derivative (it's officially "UNIX" as per the Single UNIX Specification).* **Linux** was created *independently* by Linus Torvalds to be a **Unix-like** operating system. It behaves like Unix and follows its philosophy but doesn't share the original Unix codebase.This shared Unix heritage means that:* The file system structure is similar (using directories like `/usr`, `/etc`, `/bin`).* The command-line Terminal experience is very similar (using shells like `bash` or `zsh` and commands like `ls`, `cd`, `grep`, `sudo`).* They are both inherently multi-user systems.* They share a similar philosophy regarding security, permissions, and "everything is a file."### SummarySo, while you can open a Terminal on both and type many of the same commands, under the hood, they are fundamentally different operating systems with different philosophies, goals, and origins.
