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.

Nah, Windows always does that on its own. No intervention required.
