16:0516:05, 23 April 2018 diff hist −4 Google Earth →Versions: Fixed reference link.
16:0216:02, 23 April 2018 diff hist +573 Google Earth →Versions: Added Mac compatibility information. Also added information on Google's publicly disclosed license key, with a reference.

19:1719:17, 12 April 2018 diff hist +28 Hidden file and hidden directory →Android: Corrected the false notion Android is "based" on Linux, when in actuality it 100% uses Linux. It simply lacks the GNU OS and userland, but Linux is completely intact.
18:5318:53, 12 April 2018 diff hist +9 AppleSingle and AppleDouble formats macOS -> Mac OS X (reverted someone else's change). Two reasons: External references that make up the article refer to it by that name, and because "Mac OS" is already being used to refer to the original Mac OS operating system in this article, so it's important to make it clearer which one is being referenced in each context. Furthermore, despite the recent rebranding, internally the OS source code still refers to itself as "Mac OS X", even on High Sierra.

19:1919:19, 26 March 2018 diff hist −3 HFS Plus Changed "even though" to "although" for greater fluidity.
19:1819:18, 26 March 2018 diff hist +638 HFS Plus →Criticisms

14:1214:12, 21 March 2018 diff hist −359 Unix Undid revision 831430834 by DIYeditor (talk) "Religious"-based removal: The original edit contained a reference to justify it, which you have not addressed when reverting it. The only absurdity was the impulsiveness at which you undid the edit without reading the reference. Please read the references first. Again, the original paragraph cannot be kept, as it lacks references, and because a more approrpiate section for it, "Impact", exists further down in the article. Move it to there if you feel so inclined. Tag: Undo
14:0714:07, 21 March 2018 diff hist +2,503 User talk:DIYeditor →BSD & Darwin are real Unix, Linux is scientifically just a kernel: new section
14:0214:02, 21 March 2018 diff hist +2,547 Talk:Unix →BSD and Darwin not really forks of Unix, Linux is an OS

15:4115:41, 20 March 2018 diff hist +4 Unix Correct technically-incorrect usage of the term "Unix-like": BSD and Darwin are Unix, not Unix-like, as direct Unix forks, while GNU+Linux is not a fork, yet behaves much like Unix, hence it is Unix-like only.
15:3215:32, 20 March 2018 diff hist −359 Unix Removed last Linux paragraph for 3 reason: 1) No references for claims; 2) It is not UNIX (unlike BSD, Mac OS X etc.): it is only UNIX-like and, as such, don't belong in the intro presentation of a UNIX article; 3)Linux is the kernel of a family of OSes, not an OS itself. Android is also NOT "based" on Linux: it an OS that USES Linux itself, a kernel. 4) Linux is a kernel, not an OS, but the paragraph led to confusion by technically-incorrectly implying it's an OS. (The OS is Gnu.) Proof of what all this confusion can cause and lead to: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Convert-an-Android-Device-to-Linux (check especially the comments section).

12:4412:44, 5 January 2018 diff hist +1,101 Linux REFERENCE ADDED. Made a correction based on the fact that although Android is a Linux distribution, it's often NOT considered by those who hear or use the expression "Linux distro", a fact that contradicts much of the opening content of this wiki entry.
12:1112:11, 5 January 2018 diff hist +4 Yum (software) Fixed hyperlink.
12:0912:09, 5 January 2018 diff hist +10 Yum (software) Fixed line that incorrectly refers to "Linux" as an "Operating System" instead of a kernel, which is common widespread ignorance.
12:0412:04, 5 January 2018 diff hist +27 Yum (software) Added key missing description regarding YUM, concerning its license (GPLv2).

12:5712:57, 2 January 2018 diff hist +4 Free software Minor correction o picture note: Linux is a kernel, but not a system. Changed "Linux" to "GNU/Linux", which is a system, thus adding sense to the sentence.

18:3018:30, 4 December 2017 diff hist +15 Single sign-on Technical correction in what the previous text could imply.

14:0714:07, 23 November 2017 diff hist +12 List of built-in macOS apps No macOS-branded or OS-X-branded OS ever supported the Classic Environment, only the Mac-OS-X-branded ones did. Apple only officially uses the term in this manner, as well. I.e.: "Mac OS X Tiger" has never been called "macOS Tiger" by Apple.
14:0214:02, 23 November 2017 diff hist +10 List of built-in macOS apps Changed "emulation" to virtualization where applicable: the Classic Environment and the Blue Box are programs that virtualize some of Mac OS 9's required resources. There is absolutely no emulation involved whatsoever, unlike the Motorola 68k emulator.

13:1913:19, 21 November 2017 diff hist −357 Reduced instruction set computer Removed irrelevant quote making a false, baseless statement that was placed out of context, which also took away focus from the on-topic discussion and flow of the previous and later paragraphs.
13:1513:15, 21 November 2017 diff hist +126 Reduced instruction set computer Added missing entry on IBM's POWER architecture's biggest and most well-known influence.
13:1013:10, 21 November 2017 diff hist +171 Reduced instruction set computer Added major missing entry.

13:1913:19, 30 October 2017 diff hist +41 Debian Streamline the last introductory sentence, and also made clearer the fact Debian is necessarily GNU (OS), but not necessarily Linux (with BSD and GNU Hurd also available, as was previously stated in the previous page publication).

16:0116:01, 24 October 2017 diff hist −17 Carbon (API) Removed subjective statement that labeled Mac OS 8 and 9 as obsolete, even though they provide compatibility to programs that are otherwise not natively run on macOS (OS X), as well as a different UX (User eXperience) that, to some, is preferred.
