I think a large portion of the problem discovering things here is that they often have very counterintuitive names. Krita is very logical for me as swedish but outside Sweden not so much I guess.
Apache is a webserver? Really?
Konqueror is probably a game, right? :-)
- boudewijnrempt 9y agoWell... The project was originally named KImageShop. Not entirely unexpectedly, that ended in lawyerly trouble. Not initiated by Adobe, though!
- Sylos 9y agoI mean, Internet Explorer and Safari are pretty much named the same as Konqueror. Only Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera and Vivaldi manage to be even farther away from any sort of association with the internet.
- zanny 9y agoKritas first name was KImageShop, which got legal threat from a German lawyer for being too similar to Photoshop. They renamed it Krayon, which the same lawyer threatened over it being too similar to Crayon. So they then went with Krita, because it wasn't a name already associated to a popular brand having anything to do with art in Germany.
