this is just a meme, I know that everyone is different and not all GNOME or KDE users are like that!!

      Oh, I wouldn’t get on my high horse about that, Gnome apps used to be G- or Gnome-something for a long, long time.

      Now they’re just some stock generic name that assumes “why would anyone ever use any other program for music except Music, or videos except Videos?”. Pretty much like Apple.

        Worse than that, if you’re looking for the program in the terminal like when you install the thing it’s still called the old name, like:

        Files > nautilus
        Disk usage analyzer > baobab

        They used to have character. The k- naming scheme is just a hint that isn’t a qt app really.

      We wouldn’t have Safari (Webkit) or Chrome (Blink) today if it weren’t for Konqueror and KHTML! Webkit is a fork of KHTML, and Blink is a fork of Webkit.
