Not sure how wide Apple has adopted it or how much of a 'distro' you could call their operating systems, but much is built using LLVM with clang where publicly visible.

Also, to be pedantic, apple is a BSD, not a linux.

Mac OS is its own operating system with its own kernel. It's neither Linux nor BSD.

If you want to see how much different they are, have a look at

"Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach"

https://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Internals-Systems-Approach-ebo...

Since then, has macOS become even further away from BSD, with its own Network stack, XPC, SIP and many other architecture changes.

It’s a certified UNIX, which Linux & BSD are clones of (UNIX).

this is taking the post USL vs BSD legalized definition of unix, which, w/r/t history, is revisionist.

following the lineage and where active development happened at the time (80s/early 90s), one can easily make the case that BSD is unix.

To be pedantic, Apple is a company, not an OS :)

To be pedantic, the comment you replied to referred to apple which is neither a company nor an OS but a fruit.
