It is impossible to explain to a linuxfag that their failed community ecosystem is in large part due to their compete inability to name things.
"SteamOS" -- it's an OS for steam
"ChromeOS" -- it's an OS for chrome
"Microsoft Office" -- "I guess that's tools you'd use in an office"
"Mapquest" -- guess I look at maps
"Door dash" -- "they dash things to your door
"Minecraft" -- you mine things and you craft things
"bazzite" -- what the fuck does that mean
"gnome" -- what the fuck does that mean
"mutter" -- is that like a mumble alternative?
"Wayland" -- like from Aliens?
"minetest" -- sounds like Minecra-- oh wait you changed it to "Luanti" WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

@RustyCrab Don't think that bad names are limited to Linux ecosystem, but it does suffer the most there I guess. As much as I love KDE... "Kcalc", "Kate", "Konsole", "K3b", "Kasts"... just... stop...
@RustyCrab k3b is for DVD burning, though it's understandable that people have forgotten about that. Kate is the text editor.... a damn good text editor, but you wouldn't know to search for it if you weren't on a KDE distro.
@RustyCrab Point is, even the good names are stupid as fuck... stop putting K in front of everything...
@Inginsub @RustyCrab
Through the KDE distro I started with, I think Kate was the default. And I kept using it. That would have been 8 years ago, so hope my memory is correct. On what I use now, it's not, and I have to install it. But I think it's still the better known text editor for KDE.
And it's not like they'd have to rename every app internally, they could just change the display name to something generic, like Terminal, Text Editor, Calculator, Podcasts, etc. (or at least give people the option to do that if they prefer it that way).
But Linux devs are autists and simply don't care about that, which is both a blessing and a curse because while it does hinder adoption (and therefore commercial support), it also keeps normies at bay.
I'm just telling you how normies think, and they have an incredibly low frustration tolerance. Basically, they're like children, if the computer doesn't hold their hand every step of the way or causes them even the slightest amount of inconvenience, they throw up their hands, curl into a ball, and lie on the sofa for the next 10 hours playing Candy Crush.
