I'm not sure if you are being smug or not, but I'm installing Linux on
people's computers who expect it to work. Not after Dotan changes this
and renames that, rather it should just work. And if the person needs
help, should they google the real name of the program, or whatever
Dotan changed it to? How will they even know?

In contrast to two years ago, [K]Ubuntu is almost at that point (other
distros are not). One of the last remaining hurdles is the terrible
program names.
