If you're coming from macOS, the difference is still noticeable, but much smaller: this is a result of macOS being a Unix operating system, which has obvious similarities with the Unix-like Linux structure.

We're going to be interactively exploring the Linux filesystem from this point on. We advise you to follow along with the code examples that follow, since this increases information retention significantly. ...
