Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Always has been.

    MacOS was not Unix based until OSX (10). MacOS 9 and prior were based on the classic Macintosh kernel.

    Dove into that some time ago.

    NeXTSTEP was made by Steve Jobs after quitting Apple, awesome Software anr Unix based, but the hardware was overprices.

    Then Mac bought NeXTSTEP back and made their first good MacOS on the Unix base, which is what they use to this day.

    Afaik they also use the same Kernel and and some more in all devices.

    "macOS" is not the same as "Mac OS"!

    "Mac OS X" was rebranded to "macOS" (or rather, "macOS" is the successor to "Mac OS X", but really just is the same but newer, the "upgrade" was just like any other update between Mac OS X versions afaik), and "Mac OS 9" does not belong to "macOS".

    IIRC Mac OS X was changed to OS X before it was changed to macOS. Not that it matters here

    Edit: 10.0 to 10.7 were Mac OS X, 10.8 to 10.11 was OS X, 10.12 and later macOS.
