Not gonna lie, took me a moment of thinking and waiting for a search engine to load before I realized Kool Desktop Environment is just KDE...

    I always thought the K in KDE just stood for KDE.

    While looking it up, I'm pretty sure I read that Kool Desktop Environment was changed to K Desktop Environment. Either way, it's absolutely Konfusing regardless of how you slice it.

    Konfusing? Everything is krystal klear in KDE, or you kan make it opaque, too, as all konfigurations are exposed for maximum kustomization

    It does now and has for years, but at first they didn't realise how stupid Kool Desktop Environment sounded

    Not sure if this is directly aimed at us but, I don't know much about different desktop environments (with this being the maybe 2nd or 3rd one I've used), but I l just like plasma because it looks good without much tweaking. I'm still learning Linux, so I just want something that looks good out of the box.

    @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee

    I don't care much for looks. I want something that works good. Every time I've tried KDE in the past decade there have been major bugs that crashed things. I use mostly XFCE and OpenBox (both ugly) and the bugs are so infrequent that I can't even remember the last one encountered. I'm so busy getting things done I don't notice how ugly the desktop environment looks.
