While looking it up, I'm pretty sure I read that Kool Desktop Environment was changed to K Desktop Environment. Either way, it's absolutely Konfusing regardless of how you slice it.

Konfusing? Everything is krystal klear in KDE, or you kan make it opaque, too, as all konfigurations are exposed for maximum kustomization

Some of the KDE apps are useful even on other OSes. KID3 is still my favourite MP3/FLAC tagger even on Windows.
