remember when youtube ads were those banners that appeared on the video and had a close button

So non-Italian pizza isn't flat... what shape is it? I'm guessing spherical, or maybe saddle-shaped?

Or does "flat" refer to the geometrical space of the pizza, so like, non-Euclidean pizza?

binaries (executables) go in /usr/bin, flatpaks are installed in their own sandboxes, appimages are wherever you put them.

the shortcuts in application menus go in /usr/share/applications as .desktop files which link to the app, so the user generally won't have to worry about where the executable is.

why would the app store ask you where to install stuff??

i have pirated games before, usually games i wanted to buy but couldn't at the moment. for example: minecraft, which i played pirated for much time until i could buy it.

honestly, now that you said it it's really more obvious to me how it could potentially end up benefititng creators. i wouldn't have bought minecraft if i hadn't played it before.

how does piracy benefit creators? that sounds unlikely

It's called a graphical app store. Most distros meant for desktop usage that come with a desktop GUI have a software store. IIRC KDE's Discover even has Flatpak support which leads to a higher variety of apps.

Otherwise, you can install an AppImage, or just a .deb file if you're running something Debian-based.

I like Transmission, it's minimal and downloads torrents.

May I also mention aria2? I don't think it counts as a torrent client but it supports torrenting.
