OSX has always been "unix" based, well in as much as you can call BSD

I always refer to Linux as a 'jumped up UNIX wannabe'. When giving my
introductory lecture on UNIX.

That doesn't make it a true statement though.

Linux is a thoroughly proven and developed kernel these days.

You may argue about the desktop and gui bloatware but the underlying
kernel is as good as or better than any unix.
