How Linux is packaged?
I assume you are talking about packages in Linux which can be packaged in many different ways. Just for clarification the packages we are talking about here are like .exe files in windows they are packages that install programs. You cannot use .exe in Linux because these files are made for Windows system. Linux distributions have something called a package manager which handles all of the packages (or programs) installed. All Debian based distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian,) use .deb files for programs. All Red Hat based distros (Opensuse, Red Hat, Fedora) use .rpm files for programs. All linux distros have one thing in common. You do not need to use firefox to download programs you can use Software Manager/Synaptic/Software Center to install programs on your system. This works because the system uses repositories. These are websites where all of the programs come from. You should search these repositories you might find the program you are looking for. Also if you do not know what Linux distribution to try I would try Linux Mint. It is very user friendly

Is Mac os x Linux?
Mac OS X is based on BSD, which is similar to Linux. Because of this, it is fairly easy to port programs between the two operating systems. However, the two operating systems are not the same, and programs for one don't work on the other. Linux also uses the X window system, and Mac doesn't, though Mac has a program to support programs that use the X window system. Because of this, Linux programs can be configured to run on Mac OS X with a little elbow grease, but not the other way around.
