macOS is a Unix by pedigree; Linux is not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unix_systems#/media/Fi... I have to dig out this chart when people complain about macOS's "non-standard utilities." Linux's GNU tools are the ones that aren't standard. If anything, Linux did an "embrace, extend, extinguish" against Unix in general. | ||

It's also not just Unix by pedigree, but also by certification [1]. [1]: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/certificates/1223p.pdf | ||

I’d add that it is rather prescriptive to declare that macOS is not a “proper multi-user system.” It is quite capable of handling multiple users. Maybe just not in the way that certain people want it to. | ||
