Plasma is already the name of KDE's desktop interface. Reusing the name of an already known project is confusing.

- Zardoz84 9y agoYeah, I just click thinking that was something about KDE. Bad feeling give mes, someone that "steals" some popular opensource name for his business.
- SkyMarshal 9y agoYeah it really sucks when people do that. Glad it's not very often. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=plasma+company https://duckduckgo.com/?q=plasma+company

- Etheryte 9y agoFinding a good name is hard, especially if you want a single word. Going with "Plasma Contacts" or something similar would easily remove the ambiguity.
- DennisP 9y agoAnd before KDE, plasma was already the name of a state of matter. It wasn't confusing to reuse it for KDE's interface because the context makes it clear. Same here.
