Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.
Does Merkuro mean something in another language? Like Krita means Crayon in...Swedish? Norwegian? Scandahoovian? And for some reason they didn't call it Krayon?
Funny. Your observation made me think that for the purpose of finding stuff it's most efficient to have a perfectly linear distribution across all letters. Ie if there is 26 letters and I type out a single one I'm precluding 25/26 applications.
Of course the application menu uses fuzzy search meaning it looks at the whole string not just the beginning and also crawls through meta data and tags.
Still for searching it seems most efficient if a language uses all letters evenly 🤔.
The Knaming scheme was so Koff putting that I refused to use KDE for years based purely on how much it annoyed me.
But it's been 15 years now and GNOME has turned into Fisher Price. KDE things always seemed to work better, like Phonon works 1000 times better than GStreamer and apps like Krita and Kdenlive are far more useful than GNOME equivalents.

I was shocked when my Linux Guru recommended KDE whenever it was that Plasma got really good. I reluctantly tried it and I was hooked. I was in love with the infinitely user configurable UI. I felt like I could easily bend the interface to do what I wanted. It’s been many years now and it’s hard for me to use anything but KDE. I even tried to give Plasma Mobile a go on my Pine Phone.
You should give https://www.nerdfonts.com/ a look. There is a patched version of Fira Code and it's pretty damn fancy, although there are plenty alternatives and instructions for creating your own if you fell like it.
I think for transparency in Plasma you use "Window Rules", a tab in which you can specify a lot of stuff, like opacity, and you can confine your settings to certain programs, certain categories of programs, all programs, etc. There's really a huge customisation potential with Plasma!

There are sadly no worthy FOSS alternatives, at least for real work. But for creating memes gimp would be plenty

I'm pretty sad that they named it KDE Connect instead of just Konnect

They have so many missed opportunities for things like that, like why isn't spectacle called spektacle

I don't like this word either, selective screenshot or sth...

Screenshot. With features thats it imo

snip /snĭp/

How the heck is that related to screenshot

It's usually combined with a rectangle/window selection, thus clipping a part of your screen into an image/clipboard.

You need to edit your profile, and for transparency and colors you need to make a color scheme or edit an existing one

It only accepts monospaced fonts, which is simply the only font type you should ever even think of having in your terminal
But there is a checkmark that enables you to override and use any font

I think for transparency in Plasma you use "Window Rules", a tab in which you can specify a lot of stuff, like opacity, and you can confine your settings to certain programs, certain categories of programs, all programs, etc. There's really a huge customisation potential with Plasma!
