Yeah lots of unix-likes out there but it’s not running the linux kernel so it’s decidedly not linux. I was just trying to stir up shit in a shit stirring thread.
Now, to possibly stir up more shit: Its ancestry might even be closer to unix than linux itself since darwin was derived from nextstep/bsd whereas linux was a mix of minix and torvalds going “fuck this licensing shit i’ll just make my own”
I will say, any time i’ve had to deal with a macos system i’ve appreciated being able to drop into a familiar shell. DOS commands drive me insane. dir is 50% longer than ls! Who has time for that!
Is it though? Last time I checked on a friend’s computer POSIX message queues were not available. They had to install Ubuntu to code their operating systems homework. Unless mqueue is not part of the POSIX specification, MacOS doesn’t seem POSIX compliant to me.
Want to fuck the thread up? Just ask “What is the G.O.A.T. Distro?”
Hannah Montana Linux
This is the only right answer.
Windows Subsystem for Linux 2
Not a distro. You can run Ubuntu and Arch on WSL (and many others)
AmogOS
GoatOS, obvs
The one you make yourself
Red Star OS
or TempleOS
Microsoft Azure Linux obviously
with powershell
Apartheid Linux (it really exists, apparently)
Hotdog linux
MacOS! It’s just linux under the hood
🍿🍿😏🍿🍿
edit: aw i thought we were playing “who can stir up the most shit” but now everyone just thinks i’m a big dummy… i use arch guys… :(
Lol no
To a higher degree than Windows, yes it is.
It’s a UNIX-like system. It’s not close enough to be linux imo
