ITT; Badly named software
>>
>>108836468
90% of FOSS software, don't think it would fit into an uploadable image.
>>
forgejo is the worst offender among software that's actually used
>>
>>108836468
Oh yeah, the "I wish I were using Vivaldi" browser.
>>
does this offer anything stock FF doesn't have at this point?
>>
can't really beat GIMP
>>
>>108836514
and GNOME
>>
>>108836468
for me it's Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.
you do code in both but only one has "Code" in the name
>>
Alcohol 120%

Nicotine+

What do you think a fork is

How about ironically named software?
>>
numpy cumsum
>>
>>108836721
It's actually a pretty good name since both of it's CEO's are Jewish.
>>
libre office
gimp
kcalc
almost any KDE software because you have remember a krappy pun konsole, dolphin (?!?), etc
nomacs best image viewer in the world but has a retarded name
>>
Explorer because when Internet Explorer was a thing, everyone confused explorer.exe with IE and killed it in the task manager only to have their desktop disappear.
I mean it makes sense to explore the Internet, but not to "explore" your own computer.
>>
.Net Framework 4
.Net Core 2, 3
.Net 5
>>
>>108836468
>flop browser
>>
>>108836978
Oh and also "Dotnet" framework, core, etc.
The . makes it harder to search for it because it's a special character and some people don't even write it like that
>>
>>108836514
Fog Panther is competing with GIMP in more ways than one
>>
>>108836988

>>108836514
This. Gimped photoshop, gimped UI, gimped development, cartoon face making you think furry gimp suit. Really quite tragic. People try to deny this and get mad at me which makes me hate them even more and want them to die because they probably do that with everything so they're responsible for all of this. You can see the expanding pattern. Much like an expanding bulge in a furry gimp suit.
>>
qucs circuit simulator, Open scad, coq proof language (now rocq because they realized it was a shit name), all these are S tier bad names
>>
>>108837623
the names garbage, but how does it compare with krits or gimp?
>>
>>108836468

PopOS
>>
>>108836518
rent-free
>>
>>108836468
Microsoft calling a product Visual Studio Code after having a successful and completely different product called Visual Studio. Congratulations, you just made it impossible to cleanly search on these terms.
>>
>>108836468
Mac, it just makes me think of Big Macs which is probably the intention since it's a greasy American company
>>
>>108836468
floorp name isn't the only bad thing about it

Isn't there an underscore?

>>108841400
This was my intro to Linux and it's genuinely a decent OS for a beginner. I could never recommend it because I feel like a fucking moron typing shit like "You should try Pop! OS, it's good"
>>
>>108841422
Ok

>>108841480
thanks for acknowledging

Audacity : after adding telemetry once, Muse group could have renamed it "chutzpah"
CutePDF writer : there were a lot of software starting with Cute, but Cute and PDF should not go together
BSPlayer : bullshit player
SeaMonkey : it means something else here
FluffyApp : aside it uses cloud, one can guess what the software does
JDownloader : what does J mean here

floorp is so dumb sounding it loops back around to being a good name

magine this shit of random longer-than-necessary garbled low3rupperCase words littering your program launcher that's supposed to show human-readable, recognizable name of each program multiple times a day for the most minimized cognitive of the mundane task of typing it's name, finding and opening it

how hard is to give your project a concise, easy to spell name made of 2 words or less

>>108841598
FluffyApp is a good name, I don't know or care what it is. Audacity as well.
>>
>>108836514
this, it is the worst named software out there
insane that they haven't changed it
>>
>>108841400
>>108841422
It sounds like a distro made for children. Pop! OS!
What's odd to me is the company is already called System76 which would sound like a cool name for an OS. OS System 76 or something. Anything but Pop!
>>
>>108843008
system os would have been cool

Everything
Seriously good software, basically essential, but holy shit is it hard to make people understand that's what the program is called

Yes, all those names look and read like shitty gibberish, you are just accustomed to the flavor.
