Mac OS is basically a Linux kernel fight me.

(I know it’s just they’re both unix based, it is joke).

Ackshewaly MacOS is based on BSD, which is not Linux or Unix

BSD, and by extension Darwin and macOS, is most definitely Unix, tracing its roots all the way back to the original Bell Labs Unix source code.

Didn't Minix also have Unix roots? So why is Linux only Unix-like?

Every single free operating system made sure in the 90s that not a single line from commercial OSes like Unix persists in the kernel and userland. The idea is Unix, but not the code.

Its like the step between Windows and Linux. "Linux-light" if you will, but with more tracking!
