From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Enshittify/enshittification must be the most overused and most incorrectly used buzzword going around at the moment. Even more so than "AI".
People shortening application to app is not enshittification.
Application is a pretty cumbersome word, too. "Look for XYZ in your application store", "Go to application view", etc just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
