Simple Question, Invalid Link

[Jerry Zhang]

We can’t use “apt” to install linux software? OK, I didn’t know that before… Thanks for the reminder.

The error is caused by the invalid link, maybe it’s because of the gfw in China, but it doesn’t make sense to block this website…

Is there any way to install linux software in mac by the way?
