MacTeX is packaged and distributed by the MacTeX TeXnical working group, a subgroup of TeX Users Group (TUG). TeX Live is distributed by the TUG, making MacTeX less a fork of TeX Live than a customised repackaging. The full MacTeX install package contains three subpackages: [1] TeX Live; GUI applications. BibDesk; LaTeXiT (a LaTeX equation editor)
TeX Live is a cross-platform, free software distribution for the TeX typesetting system that includes major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts. It is the replacement of its no-longer supported [2] counterpart teTeX. [3]
TeXShop was developed by American mathematician Richard Koch. It was modeled on NeXTstep's bundled TeXview.app and developed for the then new macOS user interface Aqua and capitalized on the native PDF support of that version of the Macintosh operating system, [1] which was itself based on NeXTSTEP's successor OPENSTEP.
MiKTeX can update itself by downloading new versions of previously installed components and packages, and has an easy installation process. [5] By default, MiKTeX installs only a minimal set of packages (according to the philosophy of "just enough TeX"), which is useful in case of the limited space.

Before CTAN there were a number of people who made some TeX materials available for public download, but there was no systematic collection. At a podium discussion that Joachim Schrod organized at the 1991 EuroTeX conference, the idea arose to bring together the separate collections.
TeX is usually provided in the form of an easy-to-install bundle of TeX itself along with Metafont and all the necessary fonts, documents formats, and utilities needed to use the typesetting system. On UNIX-compatible systems, including Linux and Apple macOS , TeX is distributed as part of the larger TeX Live distribution.
