The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI's fsn file manager running on IRIX.

IRIX is a discontinued operating system developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) to run on the company's proprietary MIPS workstations and servers. It is based on UNIX System V with BSD extensions.

Close enough I'd say. After all, she didn't say "this is UNIX", she said "this is a UNIX system".
