Ah my nemesis has shown themself

Complete display of failure on the part of the KDE developers for not calling it "Klock" or something similar

    KDE Plasma - The only OS UI where sorting apps alphabetically is pretty useless.

    If you want systems utilities, no need to look at the entire app list or a special exception for the sort! Just go look into the K area instead. A few other apps may invade the space, but all your system apps are gonna be in one place!

    I thought most DEs gave apps generic names on their .desktop these days? gedit -> text editor, file-roller -> archive manager, baobab -> disk usage analyzer, etc.

    maybe just a Mint thing, I actually used to struggle to find the actual name of an app there

    Its never wise to put that many k's that close together.

    That's krazy. That kant be legal. All KDE must be Kool branded.

    While I love the fun of having a pattern like that... It's actually kinda dumb (with all due respect) that KDE had a naming convention of starting every app with K, and at the same time, a standard app menu that lists applications alphabetically.

    Which means if you install a standard, expected "clean" version of KDE Plasma and it's default apps, the alphabetical sorting is almost useless yet it's the primary UX element of the most important menu in the interface.

    Still love KDE though.

    It's okay, GNOME picked up the slack with Galculator

    I hate how some modern apps are just misspelled words.

    I remember using KDE back in the day and that so many applications started with K that using the start menu to look for my application was jarring.

    Recently switched to kde, and I've been enjoying it. The hardest part is the app names.
