Mac is UNIX based, which is why the macOS kernel is called XNU, which stands for "X is not unix."

So Unix isn’t Linux, but Linux is like Unix and macOS isn’t Linux but macOS is like Unix, but macOS isn’t Unix it’s "x is not Unix." So basically all that nonsense cancels out and the terminal experience is similar and much better than windows.

…except macOS is officially a form of UNIX because it meets the UNIX standard even though it’s called not UNIX.

Why would he be running an unsupported operating system? That's a security nightmare.
