    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.

      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.
