ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dynamic linker

Dynamic linker is like a special helper that helps your computer run programs better.

When you want to use a program on your computer, the dynamic linker is the one that makes sure all the pieces of that program work together properly.

It's kind of like how you have to put together a puzzle before you can see the whole picture. The dynamic linker helps put all the little pieces of the program together so that it runs smoothly.

Think of it like a face that has eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and hair. The dynamic linker is like a special glue that holds all the parts of the face together, so that you can see it as a whole face.

Without the dynamic linker, your computer programs might not work correctly and it would be like trying to make a puzzle with pieces that just won't fit together.
