True. The name does feel out of place tho

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

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

[-] MildlyArdvark@feddit.dk 10 points 5 months ago

What do you mean "scroll down to K"?

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

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

[-] takeheart@lemmy.world 13 points 5 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 🤔.

Kinda kinky, keeping kowtow kicking.

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 5 months ago

It's sorted alphabetically

[-] MildlyArdvark@feddit.dk 7 points 5 months ago

Yes. Such ordered. Much K.

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

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

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@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Man, I probably should have known that. Thanks.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

KDE e.V. is still in Germany

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago

You mean koincidence?

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

you win the thread

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