We’re probably pretty similar. I haven’t been a Linux user as long as I’ve been an adult (close), but if you include BSDs, then I have, since I dabbled w/ FreeBSD as a kid.
I’m a SW engineer and I like compiled languages, so linking in C libraries comes w/ the territory. If it wasn’t for that, I would probably just call them DLLs (dynamic-link library, FWIW), since they do the same thing at the end of the day.

Shared objects on Linux.
I’ve been using Linux for longer than I’ve been an adult, I’ve worked in the field for around fifteen years, and TIL what .so means. Thanks!
