From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Somehow iOS confused my technology illiterate mother, but she knows how to use Android.
Because ios/ipados ui is very bad and unintuitive.
To make it look "clean" and "minimalistic" you actual features are hidden behind hidden menus, you need to use the share menu to do basic file operations that are not share related, and they keep adding more unrelated functions either there in the text selection overlay.
The worse is that when something doesn't work you cannot do anything since it should look good, so if an app starts bugging (which can actually happen a lot), you wan't be able to properly see what's happening maybe you can empty cache in their messed up settings where every new app is a new setting tab..., won't be able to pick default app for opening something, you might as well uninstall other apps to select default banking app. Basically every time there's a problem, you will not have possibility to fix it because it's supposed to be problem less, which it isn't
technology related muscle memory? once people learn a thing, its hard to convince them to relearn something new ... especially when you "are just doing the same thing anyway".
