    I use KDE because I never want to have to worry about how to pronounce it. There is no ambiguity with KDE, it’s just K D E

      I’ve actually seen discussions online and met one person who said it’s “K-DE” (kay-dee), so it’s not a sure thing.

      So now you’ll have to find something else, hehe.

        My wife works at a bakery that uses an ordering system called FreshKDS (kitchen display system in case you’re wondering). She always calls it fresh kids.

          Mine was studying global information stuff in school. Mainly used a software called “ArcGIS.”

          I called it “Arc-jiss.” Which she laugh-hated because it sounds like “Arc-jizz.” XD

          I don’t see that backfiring for someone who isn’t in the know.

      I am still thoroughly confused whether I should call it KDE or Plasma or Plasma Desktop. Like, what is the difference?

        KDE is the author, Plasma is the application. There is ambiguity since they don’t make more than one desktop environment - so all are good.

          But also the desktop environment used to be called KDE until 2009 (Kool Desktop Environment)

        Well, that’s easy. That must be “Kut”, which, not surprisingly means cunt in Dutch.
