It's very different. The difference is OSX is only trying to target one hardware platform (and succeeding) while Linux is trying to target the whole range of IBM PCs (and failing).
Before the era of the Linux on the desktop comes, we need an actual Linux desktop. Trying to target a whole host of hardware is too hard and unnecessary anyway - just copy Apple's strategy and let's move on to problems that are actually worth solving.
