[ELI5] Is Linux really ONE operating system?

378 views

Linux is often listed as parallel to OSes like macOS. But afaik Mac is also based off of Unix, so can I say Mac is a distro of unix? And then Mac would become parallel to linux distros like ubuntu and debian? Is a distro an OS of their own?

Linux is like people. We are all humans, but each is uniquely special and awesome.

MacOS and Windows are like corn and apples. There are a few different strains that are closely controlled by tech mega-companies.
