Only until you scroll down to the 'K' section of the "All Applications" tab and suddenly everything makes a lot of frustrating sense.
What do you mean "scroll down to K"?
The group "kde-applications" has over 100 entries that start with the letter 'k'.
Funny. Your observation made me think that for the purpose of finding stuff it's most efficient to have a perfectly linear distribution across all letters. Ie if there is 26 letters and I type out a single one I'm precluding 25/26 applications.
Of course the application menu uses fuzzy search meaning it looks at the whole string not just the beginning and also crawls through meta data and tags.
Still for searching it seems most efficient if a language uses all letters evenly 🤔.
Kinda kinky, keeping kowtow kicking.
It's sorted alphabetically
Yes. Such ordered. Much K.
I know, the naming scheme is fairly obvious, but it's the only regular program with a german name (that I know of)
I didn't even know it's German. Was that deliberate or a happy coincidence because it's a hard 'c' in English and they seem to turn all words that start with a hard 'c' into apps that start with a 'k'?
It's probably more of the latter, but KDE's roots were in Germany!
Man, I probably should have known that. Thanks.
KDE e.V. is still in Germany
You mean koincidence?
you win the thread
