The only meaning of "officially" I can think about is "licensed to use
the UNIX trademark by its current owner Open Group".
According to Wikipedia: "Systems that have been licensed to use the
UNIX trademark include AIX,[44] EulerOS,[45] HP-UX,[46] Inspur
K-UX,[47] IRIX,[48] macOS,[49] Solaris,[50] Tru64 UNIX (formerly
"Digital UNIX", or OSF/1),[51] and z/OS".
There are 2 Linux distros in this list - EulerOS and Inspur K-UX.

=46rom others on the list, IRIX and Tru64 are dead, HP-UX is almost dead,
AIX and Solaris are alive, but considered legacy systems by their
owners and see very little new development. z/Os is alive and in good
shape, but everybody knows that despite the trademark it is not similar
to Unix.
