While looking it up, I’m pretty sure I read that Kool Desktop Environment was changed to K Desktop Environment. Either way, it’s absolutely Konfusing regardless of how you slice it.
Not sure if this is directly aimed at us but, I don’t know much about different desktop environments (with this being the maybe 2nd or 3rd one I’ve used), but I l just like plasma because it looks good without much tweaking. I’m still learning Linux, so I just want something that looks good out of the box.
I don’t care much for looks. I want something that works good. Every time I’ve tried KDE in the past decade there have been major bugs that crashed things. I use mostly XFCE and OpenBox (both ugly) and the bugs are so infrequent that I can’t even remember the last one encountered. I’m so busy getting things done I don’t notice how ugly the desktop environment looks.
I always thought the K in KDE just stood for KDE.
KDE stands for KDE is not a Desktop Environment.
Yes, just as GNOME stands for GNOME has NO MErcy.

Konfusing? Everything is krystal klear in KDE, or you kan make it opaque, too, as all konfigurations are exposed for maximum kustomization
Jep, always the K in KDE applications, like oKular and dolphin.
Some of the KDE apps are useful even on other OSes. KID3 is still my favourite MP3/FLAC tagger even on Windows.
Flawless victory.
Originally, it had no meaning. It was just the letter K. There are attempts to rewrite history, give it some purpose, but no.
It does now and has for years, but at first they didn’t realise how stupid Kool Desktop Environment sounded
