but shit like this really grind my gears 
Like, the “start menu” -> type in name of program workflow is so awful. “ter” should become Terminal (Konsole)?? “settings” should return System Settings, not fucking KDebugSettings.
GNOME just works so much better, and literally the only reason I stopped using it is because I want my games to screentear. And the patch to enable that is taking forEVER to land.
I also went through this hiccup. GNOME does a good thing by baptizing all core apps as generic names (imagine typing “Nautilus” for files).
When I use KDE I have all my apps shortcutted to the task bar or as a desktop icon.
It may also depend on who is distributing KDE to you. Some distros include or exclude certain components by default.
The problem is that generic names makes searching for answers much more difficult.
For 100 points: This three letter command starts gnome’s default terminal (and you need to know this to set it as a keybinding)
kgx?
