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.

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.

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.

Linux (and Android) are not based on Unix, they are Unix-like. And macOS is based on BSD.
