   Wow... ...just, no.   
      
   Why would a completely different GUI mean a completely different kernel?   
      
   'XNU ("X is Not Unix") is the computer operating system (OS) kernel   
   developed at Apple Inc. since December 1996 for use in the Mac OS X (now   
   macOS) operating system and released as free and open-source software as   
   part of the Darwin OS, which, in addition to being the basis for macOS,   
   is also the basis for Apple TV Software, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS,   
   and tvOS.'

   No. The distinction is NOT silly. Different usage patterns make running   
   the same OS silly.   
      
   As Microsoft discovered to its dismay with Windows 8.

   Where you get to define what the "*nix" philosophy is.   
      
   Got it.
