It got you higher than a sequoia (I looked it up, it was jokingly proposed as a name for what became 10.10 Yosemite)

Not sure if that's bait. Kate is more editor-y (code collapse, LSP server capability, compile commands, GIT stuff), the notepad only (that Kate is based on, if you have Kate you have both) is KWrite and it does have a white-square-with-lines-on-it icon.

Funnily enough (despite using Kate as my editor) I use Featherpad for simple text (and that has a better icon than KWrite) and I also don't even use KDE, but this is the least of my Linux problems right now.

You may want to use kwrite if kate is too much.

Calc -> opens libre office spreadsheets because the calculator is kalc or kcalc or some dumb shit

Fffffffuuuuuuuuuu

You're using the wrong app. The notepad-like editor for KDE is called KWrite, the icon is exactly as you'd expect it. Kate is an advanced plugin-based editor with IDE-like features.

I love Kate and used it as my primary coding editor for like a decade.

KWrite exists, it is a stripped down release of Kate, even built from the same source.

But the command key is iOS...

Edit: oh, took me a second. I just thought you should know there is a tool called clan already and you can use it to run kde on all your machines

Alternatively something with recursion :D

Dear God. A game a chicken could beat. Does it have interesting backgrounds or a solid soundtrack at least? Why am I terrorizing myself thinking about this? It's complete nonsense trash, yet, you know people absolutely would play that. I don't know why. Maybe dementia.
