KDE kid kplaying kolf

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 27 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I absolutely love Plasma and all KDE applications.

But the naming convention, especially names like Kolf, make me want to kommit suicide.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ksuicide is recommended for KDE

I'm currently watching an Action Retro video where he's messing around with Mandrake.

KDE had a setup wizard named Kandalf.

Kolf is nice but my go-to golf game every few months is still TZ Minigolf 3000, because of the way putting works (inverted to kolf) and it's iconic levels (because of nostalgia)

like the 'other side' would do better with gnolf

(actually, gnolf does exist but it's not from them and it isn't gtk, it's windows but seems to run ok with bottles)

The current way of naming GNOME apps is to take a random word associated with the thing the app does. E.g. the sound player is called Decibels.

So it would be "Club" or something equally boring :P.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 10 points 9 hours ago

I dunno... "Holes" doesn't seem like it'd be all that boring...

[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It would just be Golf.

Just like the video trimmer Video Trimmer, metadata cleaner Metadata Cleaner, and icon library Icon Library.

Finally, a sensible naming scheme

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Sensible until there are two different Explorer and a whole handful of Messenger - all from the same company. Nowadays it's all Copilot.

There's a really cool Linux native game called neverputt (part of neverball).

Check it out!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 hours ago

The graphics are the perfect balance between realistic and pixel crisp

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Classic Linux form to not show screenshots of a video game on the homepage (for Neverball).

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Of course, there's screenshots. You just have to visit the dedicated screenshots page: https://neverball.org/screenshots

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 15 hours ago
