- Hey, did you know that in Linux, you can type the name of an app in Terminal and launch it?

- Oh, neat!

*fires up GNOME desktop* Ooh, let’s try this!

$ files .

- Oh, sorry, not that. That’s nautilus.

- Oh, uh-uh… ok, how about…

$ web

Ah, yes, no, that’s epiphany!

Cue: “you’re holding it wrong” and “it’s an upstream issue” in 3… 2…

@aral

Well it's handled with "open". Try "open https://duckduckgo.com".

Oh, right, it's "xdg-open", which will probably change once Wayland becomes mainstream. You should know that, dumb user!
@sirikon @aral I'm on Wayland since last year and xdg-open works fine.

@aral Nah man, that's a GNOME issue for obfuscating the real name of the applications. Good take 13/10
