This is a thread for the support and discussion of the UNIX operating system and its direct descendants. The most prominent of which are the Berkeley Software Distribution(FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OS X), Solaris(SmartOS, OpenIndiana), HP-UX, and AIX.
FAQ:
>how can unix make me look like a l33t h4x0r or a weeaboo with crippling autism?
Consult your local desktop thread.
>how do I do x on GNU/Linux?
Consult /flt/.
>how do I program with x language using x API?
Programming questions are welcome, but consulting /dpt/ might do you some good.
>how do I install x operating system? its installer uses a command line and that scares me.
Read the fucking manual.
UNIX is a trademark, not an operating system. You mean Unix.

The legal bullshit the Open Group tries to enforce is irrelevant. UNIX is UNIX.

OS X is ridiculously comfy. I see why my workplace uses it

Do applefags have to pay for updates?

Why should I use unix/bsd over Linux?
>>53925837
Nope.
>>53925837
For major upgrades, not since 10.7 I think, maybe 10.8. Minor updates are free, iOS updates the early versions you did (29 bucks per major update) but after iOS 4 I think it became free, don't quote me on that I started using iPhones when iOS 6 came out.
>>53925855
You shouldn't. Unix will call you when you're ready.
>>53925837
No, and they never have
>>53926679
False
>>53926819
Except you're wrong.
>>53926842
Mavericks was the first free OSX update. That's why they made such a big deal about it being free.
>>53925474
GNU/Windows is the latest edition to the UNIX-like family OP. You should give it a try.
>>53926842

updates != upgrades
OS X version numbers are 10.x.y
x= upgrade, like XP, Vista, Windows 7
y= update
Updates have been free since Mac OS X 10.0

What?
>>53927034
What a stupid post. Go away.
>>53927053
Says the guy spouting retarded bullshit
>>53927069
The only retarded bullshit is calling minor version numbers updates and upgrades.
>>53927118
>he thinks he can tell Apple what their own version numbers stand for
The 10 is just redundant. In Mac OS X 10.5.8, the 5 is the major version number and 5 is the minor.
>>53927179
*and the 8 is the minor
>>53927179
What?
>>53927202
Typo, see >>53927192

>>53927295
But ps4doeant have many games I want to play
>>53927308
It has more of the games you want to play than any other Unices do.
Bill looking at Dennis with total sincerity, "who da FAQ is this GUI"?

Linux = tryhards
