The codenames for every major Debian release are named after characters from Pixar’s Toy Story franchise. Debian’s unstable release is fittingly named after Sid, an unstable character from the Toy Story movies.

Their app names were one of the main reasons I disliked KDE for a long time.
It’s just objectively impractible when half the software installed on your pc starts with the same letter.
But Gnome and Xfce aren’t any better in that regard.
Gotta say though it’s kinda nice when you run an update to be able to tell ah yes KDE apps are being upgraded when you see the wall of Ks
I never understood this argument. Why does having common first letter bad? If you mean subjectively then sure, it may not be for everyone, but objectively?
Because if you want to start them by typing their names, autocomplete kicks in later.
There’s a solution for that tho: Tags. If you have sane (default) tags, you type ‘terminal’ and konsole pops up. And I feel like KDE mostly has that.
I think it can be helpful to separate “built in” gui tools with everything else, having them all under one letter accomplishes that.
Is gnome that bad? They seem to have been moving away from weird names for many years now.
Basically all their software starts with
gnome-In the branding, but the name of the installed applications in the UI do not contain “gnome”.
It’s not just the branding, it’s the actual command.
Do you want to launch the hardware monitor?
gnome-system-monitor. The terminal?gnome-terminal. And so forth.Your DEThey will give these clearer and easier names to search from the menu, as well as more recognisable icons,but that’s not on GnomeStill makes the command slightly more of a PITA
