Linux was inspired by Unix, and initially developed on Minix, but is its own OS with its own code. GNU+Linux doesn’t follow Unix philosophy with the monolithic kernel and SystemD.

    The guy who’s reviewing Linux here:

    After experiencing a self-described “revelation”, Davis proclaimed that he had been in direct communication with God and that God had commanded him to build a successor to the Second Temple.
    He then committed a decade to creating an operating system modeled after the DOS-based interfaces of his youth.
    In 2013, Davis announced that he had completed the project, now called “TempleOS”.
    The operating system was generally regarded as a hobby system, not suitable for general use, but Davis received sympathy and support for bringing the project to fruition.

      The guy was crazy, but also capable of writing a working operating system and more qualified than most to criticize. He’s comparing what he made to a Commodore -it’s obvious he wasn’t looking to replace Windows or Mac.

      About half the population in the US is still influenced by a religion that makes them do stupid things, but this sub isn’t about religion.
