> Where are those names being shown?

Up until now, I've seen then multiple time in the names of packages that
Discover has found updates for.
I've seen:
Bluedevil
Powerdevil
Kdevelop and KDE Connect might also have some "devil" in them as if you search
for this exact keyword in the start menu, both are listed, which doesn't make
any sense, at all.
You can also just open Dolphin, navigate to the root (/) and start searching
for the "devil" and you will also see there multiple folders and files, most of
which, if not all, I think they are KDE related.

I don't want to have any "devil" inside my machine, so inside the software that
runs on it, so searching for this exact term should bring exactly no results.
Please fix it, but properly, not by altering the results of searches, like
hiding them as that's not what I want as searches can be done also with other
tools, which are not in your control.

This may be a minor thing for a non-believer, non-Christian person, but it's a
pretty big deal for the people who are.
And Christians made up 2.3 billion of the worldwide population of about 8
billion people in 2020 according to a 2025 Pew Research Center study.

Also, besides, being offensive for the Christians and other people still
believing in God, the Bible, etc., I think fixing this could also help people
with depression or other mental health problems to not see things that they
might interpret as signs or punishments.
The antidote or the cure for mental health problem is peace of mind and in
religious contexts, I think it can be achieved by being subjected to the good
thing, light, warmth, goodness, calmness, forgiveness, which The Holy Trinity
and other holy beings represent and being less subjected or not at all to dark,
cold, evilness, turmoil, violence, revenge, evilness, which the devil and his
demons represent.

I think software, at least the ethical one, like the open-source one, should
give peace of mind to its users and the one made by KDE unfortunately id
doesn't do that completely when it's using these kind of terms.

Thank you for understanding!
