I find it hard to believe “File Manager KDE” would be unsearchable for, given that it already returns results related to Dolphin. I just don’t believe this is difficult at all, sorry.
I shouldn’t have to figure out the file manager is called Dolphin, the name should be descriptive by itself. The fact that you have to rely on the keyword search to figure it out is imo just bad naming.
As a normal user…what’s next, “File Manager and Browser coupled with basic Statistic Display by KDE”?
Call it Dolphin and it’s good. If I search “file manager for kde” it will show dolphin. Once I seen it, I know it and it’s hella more memorable than any descriptive word soup you’d have.
well if just watched Johnny Pneumonic, you’d know that a dolphin is the best animal for navigating files.
(seriously, watch it).
“explorer” is the name for the windows file MANAGER… but still, whatever name they choose could reflect the thing it does a little better.
while we’re on it, the name “Lemmy” is terrible for this app. Sure, the musician is cool… but has nothing to do with it, and i think a big thing holding it back. (as far as social animals go, Lemmings have a terrible fake legend about running off cliffs together… they don’t do that, but it’s what most people think about).
e.g. Mastodon has been around for years, is actually really federated, not owned by a corporation, and a lot more features than BlueSky… but bluesky already has more users and i think largely because: marketing… how are people going to talk about “Mastodon” when they’ve probably never even heard the word before? (also named after a cool band, but not suitable for the masses).
GIMP is an awful name…
these things usually start as one person’s pet project, and they name it what they want… which is fine but once it starts to gain traction, they should rebrand it.

Also fewer syllables, which apparently has a noticeable impact.

The entire point is that I shouldn’t have to memorize what such a basic feature of the distro is called.
