Saying Linux is for sysadmins (or similar) is like saying Framework Laptop is only for repair technicians.

Now imagine we only had Windows and no one would create such thing because Windows and it’s programs does not have support.
one of the world’s first RISC-V laptops
RISC-V
Just Google’s proprietary app connecting to Google’s proprietary servers that just happened to be preinstalled. There is nothing RCS being build to Android itself.
Now we need to wait for Android to get support too 🙃.

Like ability to install different desktop enviroment?
I have a phone with PostmarketOS installed and, besides being immature for now, the difference in possibilities are night and day.
Almost all apps store settings in easy to backup .config
folder. I can really script things using cron jobs and plain bash. Develop apps with any programming language without stupid SDK. Carry portable Minecraft of Factorio server for LAN parties. Use literally the exact same apps on both phone and desktop without ports and having their data synced. I can talk for hours.
Being able to practially develop anything without running Google’s proprietary build of Android SDK can be enough for devs to see the difference.
It might be very similar on the surface, for casual person installing app from appstore. But the whole ecosystem above the Linux kernel and below app interface is barely comparable. No Flatpak, Wayland, SystemD, glibc, PipeWire, etc.
The way apps are build, most of the times does not matter what kernel is at the bottom. What matters are toolings and the ecosystem.
Android could be build on Windows NT and most won’t notice (remember Windows Phone? Not looking at UI/UX design, it felt really similar), yet we wouldn’t call Android as being the same as Windows.
If he was saying that I cannot believe he wouldn’t already know.
A modified kiosk versions. Many Chomebooks cannot boot normal/main Linux. Those are mostly drivers, so less modified than Android where big things are changed but still.
It’s like main game vs mobile adaptation of 2010’s era.

Those are just tutorials showing how to install something. Typing flatpak install firefox
is one and the same as going into the app store, searching for Firefox and clicking “install”. Tutorial websites would just show terminal as it’s more universal.
If they ask you to actually download some file there is something very wrong.
I often see people overwhelmed by universality of some things. Instead of searching “How to install Firefox on Linux?” what should be learned is “How to install software on Linux?” and, unless met with something badly ported, never do the search again.
But what my meme is about is Windows-only style of having some file and by default having no idea if that’s going to run in some program or be a program.
You know a more fitting comminity to post it?
I already know that. What I asked is if someone knows why Microsoft added those shortcuts.
Anyone have any idea why it was programmed in?
If only I wouldn’t need to build my own ISOs to install Linux. If only someone could build the system for me…
Dark web should really be called dark or overlay Internet.
All dark “web” browser use the same rendering engines and same spec as regular ones.
