KDE is not a Desktop Environment, full stop, whatever you like or
think.
That kind of nonsense is what happens as a result of renames that obfuscate
etymology:
K = K
D = Desktop
E = Environment
Thus, KDE it is, still from
kde.org.
"The name KDE was intended as a wordplay on the existing Common Desktop
Environment, available for Unix systems. CDE is an X11-based user environment
jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun through the X/Open consortium, with an
interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit.
It was supposed to be an intuitively easy-to-use desktop computer
environment.[5] The K was originally suggested to stand for "Kool", but it
was quickly decided that the K should stand for nothing in particular. The
KDE initialism is therefore expanded to "K Desktop Environment"."
