Anyone else played Kolf?
(lemmy.nz)
Let me guess… KDE Golf?
peak kde naming you see
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.
I dunno... "Holes" doesn't seem like it'd be all that boring...
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
Sensible until there are two different Explorer and a whole handful of Messenger - all from the same company. Nowadays it's all Copilot.
I absolutely love Plasma and all KDE applications.
But the naming convention, especially names like Kolf, make me want to kommit suicide.
Ksuicide is recommended for KDE
Kuiside
I'm currently watching an Action Retro video where he's messing around with Mandrake.
KDE had a setup wizard named Kandalf.
There's a really cool Linux native game called neverputt (part of neverball).
Check it out!
Classic Linux form to not show screenshots of a video game on the homepage (for Neverball).
Of course, there's screenshots. You just have to visit the dedicated screenshots page: https://neverball.org/screenshots

Shit be looking like Supertux graphics
Supertux has really nice graphics nowadays
The graphics are the perfect balance between realistic and pixel crisp
Oh damn, that looks sick!
Played that as a kid
KDE kid kplaying kolf
Same! On my dad's beige box
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)
