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.

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

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

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

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 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

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That definitely doesn't spread as much joy as Konqi

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 9 points 9 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

[–] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

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