Well, he is correct. Linux is not UNIX. It is UNIX-like system. And Android is abomination.

I think macOS is actually Unix certified. It at least was at one point.

I looked it up. macOS is still unix certified.

BSD is usually not unix certified, so has to refer to itself as unix like.

What is and isn’t unix is kind of up to what definition you’re working with (pedigree, legally, practically).

The main difference between being unix certified or not is being willing to pay for it. That’s pretty much it.
