As long as the name is used in its usual context it implies "desktop environment" so that "DE" does not tell anything not already apparent. > > > Well, if it's not completely DE then DT could be fine (Desktop Toolkit). > > > LXQt doesn't tell anything to user what it is really, just funny > letters. > > > LDE looks very good for me but unfortunately it was used, isn't it? > > > > If you really want it to be meaningful in that manner, go with LQDE. > > (Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment) Then it can be LQ as well. If you want to use the name in a different context, just say "LQ desktop environment". Of course there is "ksh" for "Korn SHell" but such names belong to a heavily populated name space in PATH so they need to distinguish between co-existing say ksh and kinit. Desktop environment names are not being used in the same fashion (even when they are reflected in executables' names there would be hardly any ambiguity with an "lq-" prefix). Compare "X" which is not called "XWS". Neither has "LQ" to be called "LQDE". We do not call each other "Rune Human", "Christian Human" or do we? :) Rune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
