Forced updates suck so much! I edit a lot of photos just on my phone, because it's super convenient and mostly gets the job done. Recently I had been telling my phone "No thanks" to it asking to update my photo editing app. The other day it did a full system update, and as part of that it forced the photo editor update through. And now my filter adjustment sliders no longer have percent numbers! Which I used to have nice consistent edits!

(Side note this is why I like Linux better than Windows now and only use Windows for gaming. Windows updates: "You'll update when WE feel like it, and your PC will restart 3 times." Linux updates: "You'll update when YOU feel like it, and you can also restart when you want.")

What happens when a file gets executed in Linux? What does it mean that a file is executable? Can we only execute compiled binaries? What about shell scripts then? If I can execute shell scripts, what else can I execute? In this article we will try to answer those questions.
