AmigaOS was farther from being UNIX-like than DOS 2.0 was. The two had
absolutely nothing in common.

About the only thing I can think of is they both had pre-emptive
interrupts.

I saw a distro that used symlinks to completely "fix" the legacy layout
of files. So their Linux had a /Programs and a /Library and a /Users and
so on, not unlike OSX apparently has.

I didn't have any trouble with that, except for the amount of RAM it
took. Left little for the actual applications.
