    There’s a big difference between UNIX and Linux, and BSD can be very different from even other UNIX distributions. I believe macOS’ userland (definitely not the kernel) is based on FreeBSD 4.2.

    Mac OS is my favorite Linux distro.

    I have it and I use it daily and I absolutely hate it. The latest MacOS Tahoe is an abomination.

    It's unstable, it sleeps monitors connected over USB-C while in use, Bluetooth audio pairing randomly doesn't work, the virtualisation engine is crash prone, X11 integration magically stopped working a year ago and nobody seems to care.

    Permissions are impenetrable, sshfs and fuse requires a kernel module and repeated reboots and permissions to be enabled.

    I'm forced to have an OS update, requiring a reboot, to support a new model that I'm not running.

    There's no native package manager so applications just throw their shit all over the filesystem and the alternatives, Homebrew, Anaconda and MacPorts each have system breaking problems.

    So .. no. It absolutely sucks.

    And here's the kicker, it's still better than Microsoft Windows.
