    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

      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.
