Luigi Toscano composed on 2015-08-01 18:33 (UTC+0200): > KDE is not a Desktop Environment, full stop, whatever you like or think. That kind of nonsense is what happens as a result of renames that obfuscate etymology: K = K D = Desktop E = Environment Thus, KDE it is, still from kde.org. >From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE: "The name KDE was intended as a wordplay on the existing Common Desktop Environment, available for Unix systems. CDE is an X11-based user environment jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun through the X/Open consortium, with an interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit. It was supposed to be an intuitively easy-to-use desktop computer environment.[5] The K was originally suggested to stand for "Kool", but it was quickly decided that the K should stand for nothing in particular. The KDE initialism is therefore expanded to "K Desktop Environment"." -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
