I’ll just die instead, thanks Morph
Still working on the documentation eh?
Look, just take this pill.
Let’s ask Richard Stallman to explain Linux.
Can’t. He’s in Dorcia and they won’t let us in.
Linux is a kernel for OS. See, I told you what Linux is. I did it!
It’s not only for operating systems, though.
It’s not only for operating systems, though.
What else? I can hardly imagine using Linux for something except OS.
I know it is an obvious term for you techbros, but kernel means nothing to your average person though. I would doubt most of them would even know what an OS is (especially abbreviated like that).
Explanation for dummies: Linux is a launcher of computer programs.
An OS is basically a broker of hardware resources for applications. And usually ships with some of its own applications. That’s a pretty fair explanation?
what is a broker?
broker /brō′kər/
noun
- One that acts as an agent for others, as in negotiating contracts, purchases, or sales in return for a fee or commission.
Thanks for the lol of today.
Best explanation of what KERNEL is, it’s like car engine and all electronics around it. It’s all hidden under the hood, but makes the whole thing run.
Cars have been around for long enough that even non techy people understand at least the crudest basics and this helps them understand computer things when used as analogy.
So linux is the CPU?
As someone who’s worked on other people’s cars, you’re giving people way too much credit for knowing stuff about cars…
I have encountered people that didn’t know what engine oil was even for or why it had to be changed out periodically.
They don’t need to. But they know what an engine is, don’t they? Even if they know nothing else about it? It’s the part of the car that goes vroom and makes everything else possible.
Yeah, but… but… like, but… if you just explain it, you’ll put people off. You’ve got to get them to install it first so that they get hooked.
Now eat this random pill I found
no… you misu… I have not just found it, of course! I am bringing it from the most delicate source of pills!
Live boot isos are also available
You take the red pill, you wake up to the real world.
You take the blue pill, you keep dreaming.
You take the green pill, you just get to… try reality out?
Yeah. If Cyrus knew that, he wouldn’t have had to reinstall vista, by turning on all his buds
It’s important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.
