Unfortunately, no-one can be told what Linux is. You have to install it for yourself.

Linux is a kernel for OS.

Maybe Morpheus meant that no one can explain it and also be believed. 😅

Maybe the real matrix was the friends we made along the way.

The funny part of the original scene is that that is exactly what Morpheus himself does when Neo is outside the Matrix—tells him what the Matrix is.

This is one of a few different examples (in that film and the others) that give credence to reading Morpheus as less trustworthy than he is styled. He should maybe be doubted more often.

Yeah, but clearly this is a difference between knowledge and understanding.

Maybe there’s a filter that keeps you from saying stuff like that inside the matrix.
Show threadRomulusCornflakesFeb 28
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.

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.

Maybe they mean embedded systems where full OS isn’t required. Just the kernel and busybox.
