What do you think Linux won? Really? I do not understand? I know I won
because I learned about the PDF conversion on Linux. That is a win.

I also won because I have provided you with the material to understand what
it means to have a system which is more streamlines and context aware. I
showed multiple examples of single tasks or just a few then put a lot of
that together here: <https://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>.

That is the point of the other tools... the idea you can do these all. You
are able to replicate one or two at a time, though sometimes with odd
workarounds such as having to go to the file browser to work with a web page
in your web browser (that is where you have control so that is where you
go), but to have all of these things at once is something that Linux does
not offer without having massive clutter. This would include, but NOT be
limited to: 

* Save current document to Recipes as PDF
* Save current document to Web Receipts as PDF
* Save current document to Desktop
* Save current document to Downloads (I use that as a catchall)
* Convert current document to PDF with same name and email
* Convert current document to PDF with selectable name and email
  (occurs to me now it would be cool if the email client just let
  you select the attachment and re-name... if Linux clients let
  you do this it would serve much the same need... OS X's Mail
  does not)
* View selected text in Tofu (a tool to make reading lots of text
  easier)
* Look up selected text in Kid's Dictionary
* Look up selected text in Urban Dictionary
* Look up selected text in Wikipedia
* Look up selected text in standard dictionary
* View selected phone number in larger type
* View selected address in a system map tool
* View selected address in Google maps
* Get word count of selected text
* Add selected text to a program that tracks deliveries
* Email the selected webpage to someone, as a webpage
* Set the selected URL to be put in a reading list
* Send the selected URL to Facebook, with comments
* Scan the selected files / folders with a malware program
* Delete the selected application
* Get a quick look at the contents of this file or archive
* Make some basic edits to this image / PDF attachment in email
* Do a "man" search on the selected text
* Add a Lorem Ipsum sentence at the insertion point
* Add a Lorem Ipsum paragraph at the insertion point
* Get all local links from the current web page
* Get all image links from the current web page
* Open the current file in a new instance of the associated program
* New Terminal at Folder
* Encode selected audio file
* Encode selected video file
* Set PDF meta-data

That is just insane. Now YOU have a choice: if you can learn we BOTH win. If
you cannot we both lose... for my goal is not just to learn but to educate.
So can you show understanding?
