Indeed. As much as the k-based KDE app names might look or sound silly, they're mostly quite searchable due to being a tad different.

They might be searchable on the wider internet if you’re looking for info on them, but I can never remember them when I need them on the actual system.

Your launcher doesn't find them by description or substring?

Not reliably enough.

On my windows PC, I type ‘note’ and slam enter to open notepad a thousand times a day without a problem. On my KDE desktop ‘text’ seems to 50/50 bring up… whatever the text editor is called and 50/50 something else. Apparently “Kate” is what I’m after.

There is real value in naming things after what they do and it’s my sole gripe with KDE that they have stupid names.

On my cinnamon setup, typing "note" pulls up the settings panel for my installed basic text editor. :-|

nodejs has not solved this problem with "node" which is an admittedly shitty name for a very old amateur radio networking package.

I agree that 'go' has to be the worst naming from an SEO perspective. Only ones worse a single letter names. And TBH, they might be _better_ simply because they aren't a common English language word.

better than .net, admittedly.
