You can install a Linux distribution and even Mac OS X can be installed on a PC…. Un Mac has an Intel microprocessor Like any other PC, it has AMD graphics cards like any of the non-Macs you have at home. And PC as I say, is the acronym for Personal Computer, what happens that Macs are not personal computers? Perhaps in the past it made some sense, something that has been diluted over the years. But now even that doesn't differentiate them. Before at least used PowerPC microprocessors instead of Intel's x86. The correct thing to do would be to distinguish between Windows and Linux, but never between PC and Linux.īut there is something that has me even more intrigued, and it is the distinction that everyone seems to make between Mac and PC. A PC (Personal Computer) can have both Windows, as some system based on Linux kernel, BSD, etc. The first thing, the distinguishing between PC and Linux is a huge mistake, but very common in the world of video games, since they are not different platforms.

And it is that in many video game websites, such as Steam, or software, distinguish between PC, Mac and Linux….

To the discussions between saying Linux to refer to the kernel or the complete operating system instead of using the designation GNU / Linux, this new battle that comes from afar and has led me to make this reflection is now joining.
