The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released on March 24, 2001. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and all releases from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to macOS 14 Sonoma are UNIX 03 certified

I don’t like MacOS, but it’s actually able to be called UNIX.

I’m surprised you don’t lose Unix certification with crap like case insensitive filesystem defaults.

I don’t want to be like Stack Overflow, but tbh you have some design problems if you rely on case sensitive filesystems.

Both HFS Plus and APFS can have case sensitivity enabled, it’s optional.

Enabling it has had a tendency to break third party Mac software though. Adobe used to be a particularly bad offender there.

Being able to be called Unix just means paying for certification. No more, no less.

Well you still have to check all the boxes, you pay for the license the same way you can study and take certain exams but have to pay for the certificate.

  • 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.
