Apple: - Derived from BSD, which is derived from Unix. - Certified as true Unix. - BSD with most active development, best hardware support, and least exposed bugs.
*BSD: - No hardware support. - 2 developers, 3 users. - Call it bug free because there aren't enough people to notice the bugs.
Linux: - Written by a greasy neckbeard to copy off Unix. - Can't even manage to certify as Unix. - Bugs galore. No hardware support. No drivers.
Windows: - Not even good enough to copy off Unix.
Clearly macOS is the superior OS of choice. Long live Unix.

Apple: >40 year old UNIX design >doesn't even do UNIX all the way right, like the long-standing issues with poll() >no hardware support, it's a mess trying to get it to run at all on hardware not produced by Apple >can't even write to Windows NTFS formatted disks without buggy 3rd party software
BSD: Fair enough assessment
Linux: >newest of the bunch, with a codebase from 1993 >originally built for desktop PCs while UNIX was made for mainframes and minicomputers >most extensive hardware support of all; even if some newer PC peripherals only have drivers available for Windows, Linux will work with loads of weird platforms and devices >no drivers usually needed, most devices just plug in and work >most distros read and write all major filesystems out of the box >only major OS that can virtualize Windows or macOS with a real GPU and not a shitty slow virtual GPU
Windows: Yeah it's a mess especially these days

OP doesn't know the difference between UNIX Certification 03, Unix, and Unix like systems. MacOS paid for the certificates. If Microsoft wanted to, they could buy one too. Notice that Apple hasn't paid for it since Snow Leopard, therefore as of recent, they are not UNIX. They are technially Unix-Like
>MacOS paid for the certificates. it's was a lot more work than that. it took a couple of years just to rebuild the codebase for all system and dependent programs, just for some trivial header changes (but that wasn't the only thing needed obviously). you might be interested. quora.com/What-goes-into-making-an-OS-to-be-Unix-compliant-certified If it was about money, they could have just bought the Open Group, which was something Apple was considering as well.
