From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Since you menrioned BSD, might be worth checking out helloSystem. Would feel right at home on a MBP I reckon.
Similarly, a Linux alternative could be elementary OS - despite its relatively low popularity, it's actually a pretty solid and polished distro.
helloSystem sounds miserable. Copying all the weird things that macOS does and hiding how things work in favour of "simplicity"
