> None of Apple’s operating systems are based on Linux

Not now, but before Apple was sold to NeXT for a Steve Jobs minus $400 million, there was MkLinux. It was an interesting way to run Linux on beige PowerMacs and many places I've worked with gladly adopted it giving new life to abandoned Macs as X terminals and lightweight workstations.

Oddly enough, it has a newer Mach kernel than NeXT's OS.
