Further confusing is that Mac keyboards have the backspace key labeled as “delete”. Which makes sense really, but when the universal way to refer to that key is backspace, it’s just them being stubborn morons who don’t want to change it. They could’ve labelled the escape key “exit” or something else on that same logic but didn’t. I like a lot about MacOs (nothing else about apple though) but some of the hard lines they’ve taken are just idiotic to me. In finder you cannot cut files… I’ve read the long winded justification and it can fuck off. Every other platform lets you do that. It’s convenient and not confusing at all but apple people will insist cutting a file doesn’t make sense.
DMG actually not installer itself think about more like iso file image where system mount dmg file and u can run apps from there by double clicking them without installing or u can drag and drop content of dmg file to applications folder and become it like “installed”
macOS
Pressing ‘delete’ on a selected file doesn’t delete it but pressing ‘backspace’ does. WTF?

it’s Cmd+Backspace, and moves the file to the trashcan, it doesn’t delete it

Installing a downloaded app by dragging the .dmg into your Applications folder.
Just why? What is the case where I download an app installer, execute the installer, but don’t want the app installed?
It’s closer to a zip file than an installer. That one never bothered me at all
