For example try it in Windows and the browser will give you a message indicating it does not know how to handle apt (as apt is not associated with anything). Additionally, don't forget that this is dependent on the repositories configured on the Linux system. In my opinion, Vadim provided the community with a nice post (I think the themes, rock by the way). @Mark Sanborn – In systems that don’t use apt the link won’t work.
