“Everything is a file” is what made me start understanding linux few years ago and from there it got easier to use with each new concept.
Still this was really revolutionary to me when I first heard it. Made a bunch of things just click.

Yeah I’m interested in how that works too.
I’ve recently been looking at the Nextcloud “all in one” Docker image. It works by mounting the docker.sock file into the master container, which allows that container to stand up a whole bunch of other containers on your machine.
How would that work on Windows, if the Docker socket isn’t a file handle?
Docker Desktop handles the abstraction in Windows and MacOS. The container thinks it mounted a file.
Oh that’s interesting. I wonder why they do it that way, considering macOS is a Unix OS.
