Err, no, they are not doing this. That's not how it's working for a start (there's no SSH here) but the user experience is literally
Install a standard application, downloaded like any other.
Open terminal.
Run "docker run ..."
That's it.

They aren't on every computer, and they are different on different computers. A point the author not only talks about in the linked explanation but describes how that bit them.
- bsagdiyev 6y agoDocker for Mac runs in a VM, so that point still stands. Just because the complexity is hidden away behind a pretty interface doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

In the context of making things hard for a tutorial or complex for a beginner, it not being visible is the key point. Just like the complexities of how your CPU actually works aren't relevant for this tutorial.
