Don't mind me, I'll just be ridesurfing the ubernets

In reality KDE projects should start with GNU/K, because thr KDE desktop environment is just a small part of the GNU operating system, which is actually the core of the operating system.

/sarcasm

I know you're joking, but KDE is much more than just a Linux desktop environment. They make all sorts of software working on all sorts of operating systems. I use Kdenlive on windows for example. And 90% of browsers nowadays use a fork of KDEs KHTML rendering engine.

Wow, I didn't know about the KHTML rendering engine! I also use kdenlive for (small) video editing; but I don't like that it has too many dependencies (it even installed the phone link thingy)

KDE is my second favorite DE, after XFCE

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

KDE can run on the BSDs tho, or Alpine (I think)

KI KTotally KAgree

In my work, anything with a K is kubernetes-related

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Unless it's helm. K8s projects are usually named with a maritime pun.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Oh I didn't mean exclusively kubernetes = K.

If it has a K, it's almost certainly k8s related. If it's k8s related, that does not mean it has a K.

Kuality meme.

If the KDE devs ever made a audio editor, they should name it K-on just for the sake of thematic memes

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

K9mail, Keepass, (Kamera and Kontakte in German)

And all of those

Alternatively it can something Kotlin-related. Meet its mascotte, Kodee...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That definitely doesn't spread as much joy as Konqi

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Konqi is an unreachable pinnacle ❤️🐲

Imagine my surprise when I switched to Linux and my chosen DE had a mascot sharing (sorta) my name!

And then it turns out to be kernel-related

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

(before you judge, please realize how obsessed the KKK was with prepending or substituting other letters with the letter K)
