View source for How Joomla! compares to an operating system/zh-tw

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude>如果你無法想像 Joomla! 是怎麼運作的，你不妨把 Joomla! 當成一個[[wikipedia:Operating system|作業系統（OS）]]，如 Microsoft Windows、Apple macOS 或 Linux。

The most important similarity is that both your OS and Joomla! are not really intended for direct use. You need to install applications onto your OS (and extensions for Joomla!) to be able to actually do something useful with your computer (and your website). Just like your OS, Joomla! comes with a few ''core'' extensions that carry out the most important tasks.

Further similarities and differences can be found in the following table.
