minus-squarecandybrie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·7 months agoI think macOS is actually Unix certified. It at least was at one point.
minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoAt one point many years ago. BSD is true UNIX btw.
minus-squarecandybrie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·7 months agoI 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).
minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months ago BSD is usually not unix certified, so has to refer to itself as unix like. Wait, really? Not POSIX? Huh Also another reason I doubt current version macos is certified is: “Because it’s an expensive and lengthy process. And every version will need to be re-certified.”
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoThe main difference between being unix certified or not is being willing to pay for it. That’s pretty much it.
