How is the user then supposed to find gcc, find, or similar
programs/rpm-packages if these does not show up in 'software center'? Or am
I missing something obvious here?
gcc isn't an application in a sense of "gui application" so there is
to ways to install it
either the user installs an IDE which pulls it in as dep or he/she
installs it using yum/dnf.
How does 'application' correlates to a rpm-package?
Application means GUI application that has a .desktop file.
