So does "unix" mean:
1) has some possibly very-remote code base connection to some UNIX that AT&T put out;
2) is eligible to use the UNIX(R) trademark;
3) other?
If it's 1), then I *guess* Linux is the only UN*X that doesn't fit into that category, although macOS, being a 4.4-Lite derivative, would fit into that category as well.
If it's 2), then 1) the *BSDs don't count and 2) at least one Linux distribution *does* count (EulerOS).
Perhaps the labels should be
os:windows
os:macos
os:linux
os:other-unix
("unix" meaning "Un*X", and "other" meaning "neither macOS nor Linux"). "os:other" might be enough.
