Apart from being open source what is Linux? Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve, again there might be an awnser for this and sounds stupid but its more out of curiosity.

and Haiku!
And solus!
–edit i meant solaris by Sun systems thanks for commenting
I thought Solus was Linux?
It is. The other person is confusing it with Solaris, which is a Unix derivative based on a mix of System V Unix and BSD.
That makes sense! Thanks!!
Linux is a Unix, but Unix is not Linux. Solus is a Unix, as is MacOS (a really bad one), and BSD.
I’m pretty sure Solus is a Linux based OS, at least according to Wikipedia:
Solus is a Linux distro. You’re thinking of Solaris.
linux is often called a unix but it is only unix-like. It’s not officially unix cerrified the way macos, hp-ux, and others are.
It’s possible to certify Linux as “an official Unix”, evidence: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EulerOS That particular Linux distro’s Unix certification has expired, though.
Oh, okay, thanks!
and Redox the work that these guys are doing is awesome! 🤩
