Let me guess… KDE Golf?
peak kde naming you see
like the 'other side' would do better with gnolf
(actually, gnolf does exist but it's not from them and it isn't gtk, it's windows but seems to run ok with bottles)
The current way of naming GNOME apps is to take a random word associated with the thing the app does. E.g. the sound player is called Decibels.
So it would be "Club" or something equally boring :P.
I dunno... "Holes" doesn't seem like it'd be all that boring...
It would just be Golf.
Just like the video trimmer Video Trimmer, metadata cleaner Metadata Cleaner, and icon library Icon Library.
Finally, a sensible naming scheme
Sensible until there are two different Explorer and a whole handful of Messenger - all from the same company. Nowadays it's all Copilot.
