I was looking at the search filters on Flathub.org and saw "console applications" as a possible filter.
I was initially mistaken and thought that this was for application targetting video game consoles (like the steam deck), when it's in fact for command-line applications.

I don't think this is very important, but I think command-line application is less likely to be confusing, especially for new linux users on devices like the steam deck (and other hand-held gaming devices that are popping up with flathub enabled by default).

@cassidyjames could you as a native english speaker add your 2 cents to this?

Hm, yeah I don't feel strongly but I do get how that could be confusing. I feel like "command-line apps" communicates it and isn't any less clear, at least.
