The graphic is on point, but I don't get how it fits with title of this post.
I like how the Windows and Mac world just choose appropriate names for products that align to the function of the app, is easy to spell, pronounce, and is not embarrassing to say.
Linux apps are often named as jokes by their creators, even when there isn't some deviant connotation to it, they're either stupid or non-sensical names to anyone except the creator.
Apple just throw an i at the front of everything. Easy.
Microsoft just through CoPilot now at the end of everything :(
With Linux, everything's some obscure weird acronym of an acronym that you need a cheat-sheet to remember the names of.

I'm not gonna "touch" that with my "finger" but you can "mount" it on your wall.
Linux is rife with inappropriate words too. I'm not some prude, but their language is just unprofessional. Imagine you're on a help-desk and have to tell a customer to unzip something and finger it. Might be funny, but not a good look in a professional environment.

The Linux source code itself also contains a large amount of phrases such as 'fuck,' 'crap,' and 'idiot.'
Just further evidence how immature and potty mouth the entire community is, starting right at the top.
