.exe? 🤮

Linux doesn't have a standard file extension for executable files, and that wouldn't have been good for this meme.

You can: ./texteditor, ./bin/texteditor, "texteditor binary", "(local) texteditor program".

.elf is the closest thing we have.

I hate elves. If I see any elves in my computer I'm throwing it in the forge.

YES BROTHER KILL THE ELVES

Eh, .elf is more for really low level ELF files, so a program would just be named program, a kernel would be named kernel.elf

Oh they're just making a general point.

My gf did ask me why there wasn't an "exe" on my linux system though. But that's another story.
