It's one thing that so many people who really should know better call anything Unix-y Linux.

Now we're completely going the whole way and calling macOS Linux, too?

It's pedantic, I know, but when I see this, I can't help but imagine the person who chose to use the phrase "Linux commands" doesn't really know what they're doing.

Second line of the README.

You're not the target for this.

If you just installed your first Linux distribution, don't know anything about the command line, you're not going to click on something called "Learn POSIX shell...".

You did see the title, right?

I'm quite certain they know pretty well what they are doing. To catch people's attention, you need to use "their" language. People will search for "linux command" more often than for "posix command". And it's totally fine to use that in the description, just to make it more precise in the Readme.

I'm fine with being pedantic. However, they _are_ "Linux commands", they're just not exclusively so (and no, I'm not going to get into 'but Linux is a kernel ...').

It's like having 'a guide to kitchen tools' and you complain that cleavers are also used outside kitchens -- for sure, but they're still "kitchen tools".

A lot of people won't be using a POSIX shell, XNU is what it says it is, ... what are you going to call it? 'Linux-like commands'? You're going to lose a load of learners who are looking for 'the command line, y'know, linux' rather than something that's not it but is like it.

Kinda a premature specification.

To be fair, the README does make it more general:

maybe call them “linux-compatible” ? (:
