Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    True. The name does feel out of place tho

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

    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 7 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'?

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

    [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

    Man, I probably should have known that. Thanks.

    KDE e.V. is still in Germany
