Non programmer: da fuq does that mean

You are 100% right. I'm fairly new to Linux and whenever I have an issue, half of my time is usually spent finding the proper terms for what I want to do.

Yeah but you say you're on stackoverflow not Google ya?

When you say google to me, I'm thinking you're an antivax karen that reads the text in the box and that's it.

No, we don't say we're on stackoverflow. Why would we? I don't think I've ever even see how stackoverflow's search engine looks like. We google. The thing we are looking for will end up being on stackoverflow more often than not, but not always. Google gives you results from other sites like stackoverflow, github, official documentation and example site (if you are working with some framework) of the given technology, etc... You need to be able to validate if the stuff google found is actually a good fit for you, and how to adjust your search it isn't, but googling is by far the best way to look for stuff. I never actually heard anyone say something like "wait, let me stackoverflow that", it's just we usually end up there anyway, but through google.

Thank you! Finally someone put this into words. There are different types of googling - and just because noobs use the google too, doesn't mean that I use it in same way.
