@@oglothenerd Well it started as a research OS at Bell Labs. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie was the founding fathers and it was a reaction to the over-complicated "Multics". Somewhere around the mid 70´s (IIRC). Thompson brought UNIX with him to Berkeley and it´s from that we got BSD UNIX. The rest is of course history and what "UNIX" is today depends on if you are a lawyer or a BSD geek. MacOS is very much UNIX. In fact, I think they managed to get to be the first BSD based OS to get UNIX certification somewhere around 10.4 or 10.5.

It's worth noting that YT usually gives me a copyright notice, but it doesn't matter since I don't monetize.

I still use Linux whenever I can, but there are loads of Mac apps I haven't found suitable substitutes for.
