Not talking about classic MacOs
- oefrha 7y agoClassics Mac OS isn’t based on NeXTSTEP; Mac OS X is, and the Mach kernel in particular is much older than Linux. It takes like thirty seconds of googling to get your history straight.
- toyg 7y agoMe neither. In 1997, Apple bought NeXT to get Jobs back. In the bargain they acquired NeXTSTEP, which was, by then, a mature and robust OS. Once Jobs was back in charge at Apple, he deemed classic MacOS unsalvageable, and decided to move the Mac to NeXTSTEP - an OS they already owned and which he was obviously familiar with. It took a few years to build what would be known as Cocoa and Carbon, and eventually OSX. Linux was never even in the picture.
