Linux Explained by an Apple User

An Apple MacOS user tries to explain a weird operating system called Linux. Warning, several factual errors await!

As a Linux user, I think this is very accurate. However, google chrome is available on Linux and I have never heard of issues with the screen being upside down.

I laughed for about a minute on "Nothing good starts with terminal" 🤣

Lovely to see how Sam will one day become a Linux fanboy...

[Zomboy]

As a person who works at KFC and uses Linux on my Raspberry Pi. I can 100% confirm that the Kernel uses 11 herbs and spices

You really screwed my head a different way when you said chrome isn’t available on Linux, I’m sat at my Linux machine using google chrome right now

[Eren_Yeager_is_the_GOAT]

if you want to offer your customizability options in exchange for not being able to break your system you can install what's called an immutable linux distro

[gFamWeb]

This is funny. But Chrome is absolutely available for Linux.

[hobytube]

Happy Linux user here. I pound-the-table laughed multiple times during this. Absolutely hysterical.

Google chrome works just fine on linux.

The fact that Linux is open source means that whenever you are missing certain app, all you need to do is make it by yourself.

Linux is surprisingly easy to use, as a Windows user, Linux Mint was a breeze for me when installing Applications and drivers

[christopherparsons]

The main inaccuracy in this one is that Google Chrome definitely works on Linux. Also, many distros avoid the hassle of updating repositories by doing it automatically.

[gerhard_adler]

Funny :D
A few inaccuracies I'd like to point out though.
1. Google Chrome runs natively on Linux
2. Sudo isn't a magic spell for every command 😉 It just gives a command admin rights (like the notification on Windows)
3. Flatpaks are probably the easiest way to install apps on Linux. In a distro where they're enabled by default, you can search for any flatpak in the software downloader, and it just works.
4. The terminal isn't needed for most basic tasks any more. But for more advanced use, it won't go long before you need it unfortunately. (If you learn it though, oh boy is it a practical tool 😉)

Overall, there's still a way to go before Linux is as easy as MacOS or Windows, but it improves loads every year, and I don't think it'll be too long before it's considered on the same level as Windows and MacOS

Parallel universe: Recently I tried to install MacOS on my PC. And... it's horrible experience! It requires bios patches, specific hardware and lots of terminal commands. How an average user is supposed to use it?

[mcosta]

Hilarious!!!

BTW, don't worry about any factual errors. There will be no shortage of Linux users, absolutely eager to keep on correcting you!

[bastianczek]

ah yes i love being in the apple ecosystem and having to pay hundreds or thousands of bucks because apple decided to kill a good and working piece of technology

[brk]

That slap to the monitor so on point😅😂

[robertm]

Bruh google chrome is actually available

[gabrielnilo]

"that doesn't let you customize anything, which means, you can't break anything"
As a Linux user (software developer), this is so true that hurts.
I just fixed my windows installation because I selected the wrong disk when I tried to unmount my USB device.
