I see what you mean, but why would I download a file without knowing what it was for and try and run it? Or cross platform things? The name itself doesn't tell me what OS it is for but I'm sure it says further along what OS'es it can run on. If it needs extra stuff, they normally say that on the download page as well.

Yeah, but do you want to read what download page says... or is it better to make name of the program say something about it? And after all:

Well its the name I guess that is keeping me from trying linux again. It's just so weird to see like 90% of the programs have an x in front of it. You'd think things would get streamlined alittle better.
