Not gonna lie, took me a moment of thinking and waiting for a search engine to load before I realized Kool Desktop Environment is just KDE...
I always thought the K in KDE just stood for KDE.
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.
Originally, it had no meaning. It was just the letter K. There are attempts to rewrite history, give it some purpose, but no.
