This is a bug in Unix culture and an example of spray-on usability. It's perfectly legal to have a file named "Software Manager" and it's not even harder to type if your shell has case-insensitive completion. Yet the situation persists where the "human-readable name" is different from the "internal name". (Not that people generally launch GUI apps from the command line anyway.) |

In this case the executable is "mintinstall" and it could have been called software-manager or softwaremanager.
You are right, the human readable name is generally different from the internal name, but the internal name should be invisible to a GUI user.
Here the problem is that the name of the executable has made its way to the GUI.
