KDE Rebrands, Introduces KDE Plasma Desktop

Posted by timothy on from the postitioning-for-clarity dept.

Jiilik Oiolosse writes "The KDE community has killed the term K Desktop Environment (previously the Kool Desktop Environment). 'KDE' had previously ambiguously referred to both the community, and the complete set of programs and tools produced by the KDE community which together formed a desktop user interface. This set of tools, including the window manager, panels and configuration utilities, which KDE terms a 'workspace,' will now be shipped under the term 'KDE Plasma Desktop.' This allows KDE to ship a separate workspace called 'Plasma Netbook,' and independently market the various KDE applications as usable in any workspace, whether it be the Plasma Desktop, Windows, or XFCE."

    "syfy" ???? Sounds like a freaking sexual disease, shared by gay little bastids who can't handle Sci-Fi.

    FFS, if you mean space opera, say so. If you mean science fiction, then use terms that adults might recognize.

    EXACTLY!
