Actually ELI5: You know those really old buildings with a paddle wheel on the side, sitting in a river? The river water pushes the wheel to turn it, and then we can connect the wheel to stuff like a sawmill or whatever.

Now, let’s say you want to have a sawmill down the road instead of right on the river. If you’re smart, you can find a way to stick a big hose in the river and take all that water to the other sawmill, and push a wheel there, then use another hose to put the water back in the river. That’s basically what a wire does.

I made the switch to Linux on my gaming desktop 7-ish years ago, but I still had a relatively new macbook at the time and no reason to toss it. I thought I might need it for some proprietary software, such as updating the firmware on some gadget, but I never did. Apple recently decided to stop shipping OS updates for it, so now I’m 100% Linux as of this year. Thanks, Apple!
