    Nothing good can come out of this.

      Please tell me this is due to April 1. I seriously doubt Apple would use Linux on their devices (unless they already did).

        One obvious project is Project Titan.

        But the opening is listed.

          Another would be some lower power gear in their data centres.

            Or there are simply no Darwin Kernel Developers with lots of experience on the market and Linux is the next closest thing...

              They are looking for competent kernel developers. Not much else to it.

                  It's prob the third or fourth closest thing next to FreeBSD, NetBSD and maybe Illumos. Unix is closer to Unix than Linux. I don't think Apple is going to drop Mach tho.. It would be kinda bizarre.
                  Why? Mach has no future and they'll have to drop it someday. Linux is obvious solution. I don't get the part about Unix and I bet you're not talking about apple's marketing bullshit?

                    They won't drop Mach. The entire dynamic messaging system is at the core of their frameworks, even with Swift.
