macOS
Alternatively: WSL
MacOS is Unix though, not Linux.
(it's the only non-mainframe OS that's officially Unix certified)
The various BSDs aren't UNIX certified?
Nope. There's a list here: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/
As far as I know, BSD and Linux are "UNIX-like", but only MacOS is actually UNIX.
BSD is based on the original UNIX code, and macOS's kernel is based on FreeBSD specifically. Linux, however, is a clone of UNIX, and therefore "UNIX-like", as you mentioned, but BSD is actual UNIX.
Thanks for the info. I'm not very familiar with BSD.
