While looking it up, I’m pretty sure I read that Kool Desktop Environment was changed to K Desktop Environment. Either way, it’s absolutely Konfusing regardless of how you slice it.
Not sure if this is directly aimed at us but, I don’t know much about different desktop environments (with this being the maybe 2nd or 3rd one I’ve used), but I l just like plasma because it looks good without much tweaking. I’m still learning Linux, so I just want something that looks good out of the box.
Not gonna lie, took me a moment of thinking and waiting for a search engine to load before I realized Kool Desktop Environment is just KDE…
idk man it seems pretty kool
I always thought the K in KDE just stood for KDE.
KDE stands for KDE is not a Desktop Environment.
Yes, just as GNOME stands for GNOME has NO MErcy.

Konfusing? Everything is krystal klear in KDE, or you kan make it opaque, too, as all konfigurations are exposed for maximum kustomization
Jep, always the K in KDE applications, like oKular and dolphin.
Flawless victory.
Originally, it had no meaning. It was just the letter K. There are attempts to rewrite history, give it some purpose, but no.
It does now and has for years, but at first they didn’t realise how stupid Kool Desktop Environment sounded

Maybe they should call it “Kool-Aid Desktop” since so many fan boys are worshipfully in awe of it.
