Klokk has entered the chat

Ah my nemesis has shown themself

Complete display of failure on the part of the KDE developers for not calling it "Klock" or something similar

Yeah those devs used to be Konquerors

checkmate the repo name is kclock https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kclock

KDE Plasma - The only OS UI where sorting apps alphabetically is pretty useless.

If you want systems utilities, no need to look at the entire app list or a special exception for the sort! Just go look into the K area instead. A few other apps may invade the space, but all your system apps are gonna be in one place!
I thought most DEs gave apps generic names on their .desktop these days? gedit -> text editor, file-roller -> archive manager, baobab -> disk usage analyzer, etc.
maybe just a Mint thing, I actually used to struggle to find the actual name of an app there

Should be Klokk tbh.

Its never wise to put that many k's that close together.
- In Germany we have the same thing with S’s, that’s why we invented ß
  /s just in case
- That's just how you write "clock" in Norwegian (klokke)

That's krazy. That kant be legal. All KDE must be Kool branded.

While I love the fun of having a pattern like that... It's actually kinda dumb (with all due respect) that KDE had a naming convention of starting every app with K, and at the same time, a standard app menu that lists applications alphabetically.

Which means if you install a standard, expected "clean" version of KDE Plasma and it's default apps, the alphabetical sorting is almost useless yet it's the primary UX element of the most important menu in the interface.

Still love KDE though.

Never thought of it like that. You're right.
Besides, the search from klauncher should probably show kalendar if i type calendar, its a bit annoying to have to remember these alternative spellings

It's okay, GNOME picked up the slack with Galculator

So is their clock a Glock?
a calculator for all the linux gals

me when wafrn propaganda

Kowards!

They fell off

I hate how some modern apps are just misspelled words.

Kclock

kclolck

Kloq

Bonus: Qt WMs can call it Qlok.

I remember using KDE back in the day and that so many applications started with K that using the start menu to look for my application was jarring.

I'm disappointed.

Recently switched to kde, and I've been enjoying it. The hardest part is the app names.

Unrelated but what fediverse social is this?

Screenshot was made in app.wafrn.net
- God I hope wafrn takes off in a few years, I wanna leave Tumblr. Also got a silly email being shamed by the devs for not interacting much after my initial joining 😅

Or at least that's where the author is posting from. The client could be any Mastodon client.

Should've named it klock

I think that's what the pic says.
