fine - in fact that is a bad decision of KDE upstream
then just call it "KDE Plasma" because eveybody will understand it when the
other option contains GNOME, upstream can change their names as often as they
like "KDE", "KDE SC", "Plasma" and what not all
i know what KDE is - why? because i was there with KDE 1.0 in the 1990's and
well *i know* what Plasma is *but only* because i am an IT guy reading any IT
news
for the ordinary user that whole naming and ren-namig crap is just disturbing
and non helpful at all - feels sometimes the open source communit follows the
commercial marketing circles for no good reason
This has been discussed a lot, there are some reason which are not maybe the
same "good" for everyone, but please go back and read all the articles on the
dot about this.
Moreover, the more you use the old name, the more time will be needed until
people knows that "Plasma" is the desktop from the KDE community.
Ok for KDE Plasma, not ok for KDE as the desktop name.
(new users don't care about the history, fwiw).
Anyway, this is all orthogonal to the problem of the recognition of the
current KDE spin in the new order. Let's try to solve that.
