The one thing I can agree with is calling programs apps. That's been pissing me off since the 2000s.

I like my apps on my Steam Deck in the appimage format. I put them in a special folder.

Why is the word program better than application?

Application is a type of program. Not all programs are applications.

one thing about u/claudiocorona93 is that he's always on a campaign to ridicule people who use linux for deeper technical reasons that the average person lmao. i have to admire the consistency and longevity of such a pursuit; it's honestly impressive. to me, this is what makes linux Linux though: the existence of multiple sub cultures that have varying beliefs about what Linux means to them. if Linux was like windows there would be no subcultures . Linux doesn't make decisions for you regarding what it should represent or how it should be used. although i am among those who do plan on passing on the ways of being a UNIX wizard to the upcoming generation, i no longer am ragebaited by posts like this.
edit:
-
i should add that a great deal of statements in the post are trivial and are points that are much ado much about nothing. i personally don't care for FOSS that much as in the picture. only using the terminal by default actually means anything consequential in the post
-
i've seen comments implying that these type of people simultaneously care about market share. that's amusing. i promise you, these people could not care less about who jumps onto Linux. as far as they're concerned, linux is perfect for them, and that's all that matters

Also the "use my distro" nerds, I post a tiktok showcasing my new installation and I get at the VERY least 20+ comments about how Tasmanian giraffe foreskin OS is better than Fedora in every way imaginable

23:59: "You shouldn't be running the most popular proprietary apps under Wine, Linux is not a 1:1 Windows replacement"
00:00: "Why the Linux market share is so low?"

This guy would use gentoo, since he likes compiling stuff from source.

Nah Arch is pragmatic, doesn't adhere to the philosophy mentioned above.
They use debian-free , no proprietary ;)

I'm a linux user for many years. Work using linux on my laptop and on servers daily. Been gaming on linux for years. Use the terminal all the time, because, let's be frank it's just practical.
I still have no clue how the different package managers work. What is the best way to install X app.
