It was never fully compliant. POSIX threads, in particular, are a long time sticking point on Linux.

Is there any OS that's fully POSIX-compliant?

[-] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

Yes, in fact, there's a formal certification process by the IEEE and the Open Group.

Mind you, I think only one of the fully-certified OSen has any substantial use these days (MacOS X). People tend to overvalue it, IMO.
