It's not just GNU/Linux what people show in unixporn: some rice macOS, some rice BSD, and some even rice Android. What do they have in common? They're all based on UNIX.
technically not, rather, they're unix-like since unix was a proprietary system
Thanks for the heads up! I meant in philosphy, not necesarily in the code.
Ohhh I only ever saw linux, sorry. So BSD is based on Unix but is not unix too?
Thanks for explaining.
BSD is Unix
Unix is like franchising: you can be perfectly SUS, yet no money = not Unix
Depends on what you mean by BSD.
If you mean literally BSD, then yes, it's a direct UNIX decendant based on the same source tree. However, it's been discontinued 30 years ago.
If you mean one of the *BSDs (Freebsd, netbsd, openbsd), then the relationship is more similar to that of linux, although there is still actual BSD code involved.

oh I get it. Thanks|!|
Linux (and Android) are not based on Unix, they are Unix-like. And macOS is based on BSD.
