_That_'s the joke ...

GNU isn't UNIX but it sure is Unix!

As is Linux ...

See that "x"? Ever contemplated what that means? X marks
the unknown?

So GNU/Linux that's even Unix**2 ...

OpenBSD and so on are also Unix. But not macOS or Android, how
ever that would work? Don't be silly ...

POSIX = Portable Operating System Interface, coined by RMS ...
or am I wrong?
