  2. The two top figures represent macOS and Windows.

    The bottom figure represents Linux. The cartoon penguin represents Linux itself (it’s “Tux,” the Linux mascot), while the other three icons represent specific “distributions” of Linux: the blue triangular shape is Arch Linux, the spiral is Debian GNU/Linux, and the orange circle is Ubuntu Linux.

    The point here is that both macOS and Windows cost money, require signing up for an online account (Apple ID or Microsoft ID), and violate your privacy in various ways. Linux does none of these.

  3. As two others have said, the bottom logo’s are Linux os symbols.

    The penguin is the mascot tux

    Linux is open source. Lots of different versions available and most are free with the exception of a few.

    The different versions, usually made by different companies are referred to as “distributions” or “distros”

    If you try Linux, the best versions in my option are

    – Ubuntu
    And
    – Mint

  4. Also the top isn’t too accurate.

    Apple doesn’t sell their OS separately from hardware for any cost.

    You by a machine from Apple and Apples OS comes on it.

    Now there are people who get a copy offline and load Mac OS onto an ibm clone – aka a hackintosh – but that is a hack thing. Not an official thing

    As a side note – Linux is great but I prefer Mac myself.

    That being said. I bought a new iPhone this past week, had a 5 year old one.

    The Apple Store overcharged me 30 bucks and no I did not notice until I got home.

    Needless to say Apple corporate is a bunch of total fucking assholes who said the only way I cold get the money overcharged back is to revisit the store. They wouldn’t do anything for me over the phone.

    Andy at Apple corporate – you sir are a fucking asshole.
