guess what it does. go ahead, just guess.
it's a console that pulls down from the top of the screen.why the hell is it named that
it's yet anotherkuake. kuake is a Quake-style console for KDE.
what's KDE
the K Desktop Environment, one of the two main competing graphical desktops for Linux. the K mostly has to be in the name so you know whether it'll be integrated with one half of your GUI applications or the other half.okay what does the K stand for
Kool. a German college student named it that 26 years ago and then realized how unkool it was so now it officially doesn't stand for anything.guake got the name right on the first try whats wrong with the KDE folks?
@micolithe's post made me investigate this and it turns out that there's actually no kuake, guake is its namesake and yakuake is just "Yet Another KDE guake", which I'm not sure whether that's better or worse
a reminder that KDE's mascot is a cute dragon and GNOME's is
a foot
also a reminder that originally KDE stood for "Kool Desktop Environment" which is just endearingly dorky
