*See also [minimalism](minimalism.md).*
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!; also KISR, *keep it simple ,retard*) is a [minimalist](minimalism.md) design philosophy that favors simplicity, both internal and external, [technology](tech.md) that is **as simple as possible** to achieve given task. This philosophy doesn't primarily stem from [laziness](laziness.md) or a desire to rush something (though these are completely valid reasons too), but mainly from the fact that higher [complexity](complexity.md) comes with increasingly negative effects such as the cost of development, cost of [maintenance](maintenance.md), greater probability of [bugs](bug.md) and failure, more [dependencies](dependency.md) etc.

WATCH OUT: many have started to ride on the wave of the "KISS" trend and abuse the term, twisting its true meaning; for example GNU/Linux Mint has started to market itself as "KISS" -- that's of course ridiculous and all Mint developers are cretins and idiots. **Maximum INTERNAL simplicity is a necessary prerequisite for the KISS philosophy**, anything that's just simple on the outside is a mere harmful [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md) -- you may as well use a [Mac](mac.md).
