Summary
Programs and applications on Linux are organized into files. Programs are files that contain instructions that Linux follows to perform tasks. Applications are one or more programs that perform work. A program can be quite simple or quite complicated, but the principle is the same. The program contains instructions that Linux follows.You can write programs yourself or use programs and applications developed by others. Different Linux distributions include different software, hundreds or thousands of applications. The distribution defines a default set of software to install. You can modify the set during installation, installing more, fewer, or different applications.
