The thing about trying to cover Unix is that one could easily get swallowed up in all the incredible various sub stories, that by now (in some cases) have taken on the complexion of hoary legend and mythology. Unix also has a lot of spin-off effect vis-a-vis important related software that sprung up in Unix environs. Could keep a modest sized history department busy trying to adequately chronicle it all.
Nice history and best attempt at the confusingly-twisted interconnectedness of Unixes. There's at least one, but I believe only one linux-based OS from China that paid the $100 000 fee to be certified a Unix operating system. It's the only linux-based Unix that I know of.
The clearest and most accurate UA-cam video on Unix history I've seen so far.

Oh, I see at 14:42 that by 2023 EulerOS is no longer Unix. Lapsed, I guess.
Great video on the history of UNIX, I really enjoyed it!
Very interesting video and thanks for it.
Was this narrated by Macintosh speech synthesizer?
Maybe some people just have natural AI voices
Any update on your plans to publish your collection?
Yes, I'm still working on it. Still want to install a few more of the OSes on my priority list before I actually release it
FreeBSD would have been the new Linux if Linux never came to be
True! It could have been either FreeBSD or NetBSD.
based
Did you mean "biased"?
unix>BSD>minix>linux>freeBSD>new generation linux
NeXT OS => MacOSX => iOS deserves some mention here too as it has an on-going active user base (so I hear), and involves both Mach and BSD heritage.
