1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Krita >>> GIMP

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

    There are sadly no worthy FOSS alternatives, at least for real work. But for creating memes gimp would be plenty

    I'm pretty sad that they named it KDE Connect instead of just Konnect

    [–] turbowafflz 34 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    They have so many missed opportunities for things like that, like why isn't spectacle called spektacle

    My vote goes to Kpectacle

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    Man what does "snipping tool" even mean

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I don't like this word either, selective screenshot or sth...

    I'm still mad that they renamed Kalendar to Merkuro

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Also, Kalendar you can guess what it is... Merkuro? No idea

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    To be fair, its full name is actually Merkuro Calendar, but it's fucking stupid

    It would make more sense too since it can be used on almost everything, which I applaud (using it on macOS).

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    True. The name does feel out of place tho

    [–] Telodzrum 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Only until you scroll down to the 'K' section of the "All Applications" tab and suddenly everything makes a lot of frustrating sense.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    What do you mean "scroll down to K"?

    [–] Telodzrum 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    The group "kde-applications" has over 100 entries that start with the letter 'k'.

    [–] takeheart 13 points 10 months ago

    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 πŸ€”.

    Kinda kinky, keeping kowtow kicking.

    I know, the naming scheme is fairly obvious, but it's the only regular program with a german name (that I know of)

    [–] Telodzrum 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    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'?

    [–] ricdeh 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    It's probably more of the latter, but KDE's roots were in Germany!

    Do note that the default non-X terminal is called console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console

    Windows devs: "We need to ask the keyboard makers to add a special key for OS stuff. A Windows key. Yeah."

    KDE devs: "There's something special about the K key, and none of us can put it to words."

    This used to bother me way more than it does now.

    The Knaming scheme was so Koff putting that I refused to use KDE for years based purely on how much it annoyed me.

    But it's been 15 years now and GNOME has turned into Fisher Price. KDE things always seemed to work better, like Phonon works 1000 times better than GStreamer and apps like Krita and Kdenlive are far more useful than GNOME equivalents.

    Thinking about giving KDE a spin with the new Plasma 6 release

    [–] jiberish 10 points 10 months ago

    I was the same. I also avoided any Kpackage because of kdependencies it would install along with it.

    I was shocked when my Linux Guru recommended KDE whenever it was that Plasma got really good. I reluctantly tried it and I was hooked. I was in love with the infinitely user configurable UI. I felt like I could easily bend the interface to do what I wanted. It’s been many years now and it’s hard for me to use anything but KDE. I even tried to give Plasma Mobile a go on my Pine Phone.
