There are number of points listed below showing difference between Unix and Linux operating system:

• Unix is considered as proprietary system and Linux is an open source based system.
• Unix based development is aimed on specific audience and platform whereas Linux is nuch more deverse. Linux has differences between the versions and as well as lacking the strict standards for environment, tools and functionality whereas Unix maintains the consistency between various versions. Unix tools, utilities and commands do not change when a new version get released whereas Linux commands, tools and utilities tend to get change over period of time.
• In the terms of hardware system, commercial Unix is custom written for every system to cater to the specific needs whereas Linux has the base packages when required and need to install add-ons on system which you need. Linux was designed in such a manner that it is highly compatible on different devices and architectures while UNIX is limited when this comes on a point of compatibility with different platforms and architectures.
• Unix kernel is not available while Linux kernel remains available.
• When this comes to updated and bugs, both i.e Unix and Linux undergo vulnerabilities which should be fixed, updated or patched. Linux has an advantage since bugs die our early; the OS is under meticulous analysis from worldwide open source community.
