I was talking to my dad about my job and how people don’t know how to use Linux. He said “Yeah, nobody uses that UNIX stuff anymore.”

Then I pointed out that his phone and his computer both run flavors of UNIX, since he’s been using Apple products since I made him switch by not supporting his issues with Windows, and that most of the websites and apps he’s using are running Linux on the backend.

Well, he is correct. Linux is not UNIX. It is UNIX-like system. And Android is abomination.

I think macOS is actually Unix certified. It at least was at one point.

The main difference between being unix certified or not is being willing to pay for it. That’s pretty much it.
