This is only true for 3rd party software on Windows.
All native Microsoft software is called Copilot.My favorite Linux software name is “Kröhnkite”, a script to add tiling WM functionality to KDE Plasma.
The dev named it after Kröhnkite because it starts with a K and looks nice.
My second favorite is RebeccaBlackOS. A Linux distro that has nothing to do with Rebecca Black, not even artwork. The dev just called it that cause he’s a fan of hers.My music recommendation algorithm recommended me Rebecca Black the other day.
Honestly, wasn’t bad, and much respect to her for getting so much shit as a 14 year old and still sticking with the thing she liked doing. I know she came across as a spoiled silver spooned rich kid so we all made fun of her, but she’s got real spine.
Anyways. There’s also an Among Us OS called AmogOS
Highly recommend her Last Meals episode, she seems like a genuinely good person
I knew rich kids back in the day and I’m like. Bad how your parents got money but thank God for your psyche that all those things your parents bought and did for you as a teen didn’t make it to the internet.
(This is a real picture)
Fuck, I missed that release. Was it dank?
It got you higher than a sequoia (I looked it up, it was jokingly proposed as a name for what became 10.10 Yosemite)
If you didn’t know, Weed is a city in California, and macOS versions are named after California place names.
Yeah because ALL KDE APPS START WITH K!!
i hate that the notepad app is called kate and the icon does not resemble notepad in any way. also it does too much, with default settings it gets in my way. fuck you kate! just be a fucking notepad!
You may want to use kwrite if kate is too much.
kwrite has problems opening multiple documents in tabs
Calc -> opens libre office spreadsheets because the calculator is kalc or kcalc or some dumb shit
Fffffffuuuuuuuuuu
You’re using the wrong app. The notepad-like editor for KDE is called KWrite, the icon is exactly as you’d expect it. Kate is an advanced plugin-based editor with IDE-like features.
I love Kate and used it as my primary coding editor for like a decade.
Are you also a nano fan? (best command line editor ever, from the POV of tech support walking a Linux n00b through editing config files. Also can do syntax highlighting if if set it up properly.)
I also love Kate, but I call her Katie.
KWrite exists, it is a stripped down release of Kate, even built from the same source.
Looks like it might be a Windows command line tool this time
But the command key is iOS…
KDE should never form a clan though.
KDE Kommunity Klan
Edit: oh, took me a second. I just thought you should know there is a tool called clan already and you can use it to run kde on all your machines
Examples:
- 🍎 Bonjour
- 🍎 QuickTime
- 🪟 Windows Embedded POSReady 2009
- 🪟 Internet Explorer 6
- 🐧 BitchX (IRC client)
- 🐧 Gigolo (remote FS manager)
Does GIMP count?
Yes it definitely counts.
Wow, I haven’t heard of BitchX in many years! Decades, I think. Thanks for bringing up some old memories 🙂
Alternatively something with recursion :D

Honestly my favorite software name for any program ever is ‘obtainium’
And the fork that adds a nicer search/discoverability, discoverium
And then the next version on Windows is Internet Manager Cloud Freedom Suite (CFS), and it costs $199/month.

I’d like to propose “Clickorice” be picked up as an OS/app name please.
And then make it game where you just click falling pieces of rice.
… What, did you think it was something else?
Dear God. A game a chicken could beat. Does it have interesting backgrounds or a solid soundtrack at least? Why am I terrorizing myself thinking about this? It’s complete nonsense trash, yet, you know people absolutely would play that. I don’t know why. Maybe dementia.
I mean its basically just a digital version of popping bubble wrap.
Sure, give it a soundtrack, flashy visuals, achievements, … why not?
The rice could just… all spawn in at once, random locations, then you’re timed… or maybe it keeps spawning in, some kind of function of how much rice is onscreen.
Maybe it has physics, maybe its top down, maybe its side on.
… Maybe there are other chickens and its hungry hungry hippos.
Some levels tilt with the phone, some levels are under water…
It would actually be extremely funny to make certain grains of rice or certain levels have the rice respond to your phone gyros, where normally this does not happen.
Oh hey why not:
Some rice jumps when you blink.
Other rice jumps when a loud noise happens.
Fuck it:
If you sing the equivalent of a 12 note OoT song, the rice does something game mechanically useful.

Like the first time I mentioned XMPP to a friend 🙂
And all of these refer to variations of one and the same part of the human body.
More likely to be called “Professional” than “Extreme” at Microsoft, but, yeah, spot on.
Linux names really just sound like someone mashed the keyboard and said yeah, that’s the one 😭
