This is only true for 3rd party software on Windows.
All native Microsoft software is called Copilot.
My favorite Linux software name is "Kröhnkite", a script to add tiling WM functionality to KDE Plasma.
The dev named it after Kröhnkite because it starts with a K and looks nice.
My second favorite is RebeccaBlackOS. A Linux distro that has nothing to do with Rebecca Black, not even artwork. The dev just called it that cause he's a fan of hers.
My music recommendation algorithm recommended me Rebecca Black the other day.
Honestly, wasn’t bad, and much respect to her for getting so much shit as a 14 year old and still sticking with the thing she liked doing. I know she came across as a spoiled silver spooned rich kid so we all made fun of her, but she’s got real spine.
Anyways. There’s also an Among Us OS called AmogOS
Highly recommend her Last Meals episode, she seems like a genuinely good person
I knew rich kids back in the day and I'm like. Bad how your parents got money but thank God for your psyche that all those things your parents bought and did for you as a teen didn't make it to the internet.
Whys it wrong for people to have rich parents? I've learned so much from the annual European holiday and had an infinitely better education as the result of private school.
Cause it's at the extends of people who didn't get learned from there're yearly annual Europa trip, and that there fancy private educamation.
(This is a real picture)
Fuck, I missed that release. Was it dank?
It got you higher than a sequoia (I looked it up, it was jokingly proposed as a name for what became 10.10 Yosemite)
Yeah because ALL KDE APPS START WITH K!!
i hate that the notepad app is called kate and the icon does not resemble notepad in any way. also it does too much, with default settings it gets in my way. fuck you kate! just be a fucking notepad!
Not sure if that's bait. Kate is more editor-y (code collapse, LSP server capability, compile commands, GIT stuff), the notepad only (that Kate is based on, if you have Kate you have both) is KWrite and it does have a white-square-with-lines-on-it icon.
Funnily enough (despite using Kate as my editor) I use Featherpad for simple text (and that has a better icon than KWrite) and I also don't even use KDE, but this is the least of my Linux problems right now.
Calc -> opens libre office spreadsheets because the calculator is kalc or kcalc or some dumb shit
Fffffffuuuuuuuuuu
Maybe doesn't help if you just want a stock KDE system, but I really like qalculate-qt (though for me this was more about moving on from galculator when it went over to CSD).
To be fair, that is a similar problem, just with a q instead of a k.
You'd need to know the name of the calculator to access it, if you don't have a dedicated button to load it, or a menu to find it in.
If it's your first time on linux, you might well think it doesn't have a calculator at all.
You're using the wrong app. The notepad-like editor for KDE is called KWrite, the icon is exactly as you'd expect it. Kate is an advanced plugin-based editor with IDE-like features.
I love Kate and used it as my primary coding editor for like a decade.
Are you also a nano fan? (best command line editor ever, from the POV of tech support walking a Linux n00b through editing config files. Also can do syntax highlighting if if set it up properly.)
KWrite exists, it is a stripped down release of Kate, even built from the same source.
Examples:
Does GIMP count?
Yes it definitely counts.
If you have any doubt, look up the gimp 2.7.2 splash screen (hint: cage tool, ~~I don't know~~ what feature the goat* lady represents though).
* Quote:
the goat is a reference to GEGL, a technology for doing non-destructive editing, that was slowly being integrated with gimp around this time (GEGL's unofficial mascot is a 5-legged goat, from the alternative acronym definition "Genetically Engineered Goat, Large.")
Wow, I haven't heard of BitchX in many years! Decades, I think. Thanks for bringing up some old memories 🙂
KDE should never form a clan though.
KDE Kommunity Klan
Edit: oh, took me a second. I just thought you should know there is a tool called clan already and you can use it to run kde on all your machines
Honestly my favorite software name for any program ever is 'obtainium'
And then the next version on Windows is Internet Manager Cloud Freedom Suite (CFS), and it costs $199/month.
~Internet Manager Cloud Freedom Suite~
Copilot
Alternatively something with recursion :D
I'd like to propose "Clickorice" be picked up as an OS/app name please.
And then make it game where you just click falling pieces of rice.
... What, did you think it was something else?
Dear God. A game a chicken could beat. Does it have interesting backgrounds or a solid soundtrack at least? Why am I terrorizing myself thinking about this? It's complete nonsense trash, yet, you know people absolutely would play that. I don't know why. Maybe dementia.
I mean its basically just a digital version of popping bubble wrap.
Sure, give it a soundtrack, flashy visuals, achievements, ... why not?
The rice could just... all spawn in at once, random locations, then you're timed... or maybe it keeps spawning in, some kind of function of how much rice is onscreen.
Maybe it has physics, maybe its top down, maybe its side on.
... Maybe there are other chickens and its hungry hungry hippos.
Some levels tilt with the phone, some levels are under water...
It would actually be extremely funny to make certain grains of rice or certain levels have the rice respond to your phone gyros, where normally this does not happen.
Oh hey why not:
Some rice jumps when you blink.
Other rice jumps when a loud noise happens.
Fuck it:
If you sing the equivalent of an OoT song, the rice does something game mechanically useful.
KTrue
Like the first time I mentioned XMPP to a friend 🙂
More likely to be called "Professional" than "Extreme" at Microsoft, but, yeah, spot on.
Linux names really just sound like someone mashed the keyboard and said yeah, that’s the one 😭
