I always find it funny when people do that with Windows, Mac, and Linux. It completely misses the fact that Linux can be all of these things.

    Yeah, minix, etc. I'm drunk, so don't take my comments as anything serious.

    Minix is not a Unix fork, it’s a Unix-like (along with Linux). Tanenbaum wrote Minix from scratch as an educational tool. It’s userland these days is basically NetBSD but at the kernel level, Minix has a very different architecture to Unixes.
