even that would not be false, plenty of KDE software can run on Windows 10

(remember that "KDE" is the name of the community, not of the desktop environment "Plasma")

Then what does the DE in KDE stand for?

(Edit: it was more of a joke, but I guess I am serious. Has it officially become not an acronym?)

This article actually helps. I knew that plasma was the preferred name but never knew about the actual changeover. I didn’t realize it was over a decade ago though!! I guess I can still keep saying “I use kde” since I still use all the k* software in addition to the kde plasma desktop environment.

Well that's not confusing at all

I know, but plenty of people call Plasma just KDE, and the thumbnail is Plasma desktop.
