No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.
Yes Mac OS is based on Linux
Linux is a Unix-like system. This means that it is inspired or influenced by Unix in some shape or form (Linux started off from Minix), but it is not directly derived from Unix. However, BSD is based on Unix, and macOS is indirectly Unix-based because of its mixed heritage with BSD.
Linux is an operating system, like Windows, that runs on the Linux Kernel, which is based off of UNIX.
LINUX, SOLARIS, AIX...etc.
"Unix" and "Linux."
Many operating systems are described as "Unix-like" or "Unix-based", for example, Linux, Solaris, and BSD.
Linux is not "based" on anything per se. Its kernel is all original code and the software included in the average Linux distribution is non-centric to a given system. However. Linux is inspired by and readily identified as being "related" to UNIX, to the point many Linux users consider it to be UNIX.
Unix was first; Linux is a clone of Unix.
Linux is the name of an operating system. It was named based on the name of Linus Torvalds, who created it, and to sound like Unix, since it is a flavor of Unix.
Linux is an open system, Unix is not.
