I am going to have my own Unix server set up and being on macOS I want to choose the OS that is most similar with terminal bash commands to macOS.



enter image description here



I started encountering differences with this command that makes me believe it isn't as easy as I would have assumed. brew install coreutils get you part of the way there but there seems to be other differences I wouldn't have guessed. What distro is closest for the command above?

  • Asking about one specific command in my opinion is not opinion based. Having a broader scope of all commands certainly isn't narrow but again not opinion based.

  • The version of Unix closest to macOS is macOS, which is UNIX®.

  • I don't really want to be limited to apple hardware for fairly obvious reasons.
