Unix-like Insights

What is Unix-like?

Unix-like operating systems are a group of operating systems that resemble Unix but are not necessarily certified to conform to any version of the Single UNIX Specification. These operating systems share characteristics like a hierarchical file system, the concept of everything being a file, command-line interfaces, and the use of utilities and tools for software development. Common examples include Linux, macOS, and BSD variants. They are widely used in servers, workstations, and embedded systems due to their stability, flexibility, and open-source nature (in many cases).
