I read a deep dive into the macos “certified UNIX” thing and it’s a scam. I dont remember the details but the certification is obtained only through a set of testing exceptions. The macos used by people is not the macos that is Unix certified.
As a former macos user (2013-2024ish), macos has become IMO a very user hostile experience. Its not quite as bad as windows, but macos is not th le “user friendly it (mostly) just works and gets out of your way” os it used to be.
I’m full time Linux now and when I have to use macos or windows I cannot believe how user hostile they both are.
Linux is far from perfect, but at least I control my system/os.
Oh hey. You’re me! I’ve historically been a very loyal Mac user who played with Linux here and there, but I’ve been full time Linux for the past few two years.

Could be that they certified the Darwin kernel, but not the commercial offering?
I found the article I read about this, which was published a year ago on OSnews. Here’s the link
