Super great news. KDE created the best desktop environment there is and so many awesome free software. Great to see governments supporting it. More governments should stick to the Public Money means Public Code.

Great IDE, my second favourite for C++ coding, right after KDevelop

I use fractional scaling on both of my screens and didn't notice any slowdown. I guess scaling is very cheap and fast on GPUs of today so it does not cause any noticable slowdown.

Love how they are rounding various corners lately. Just slightly enough so it is not too much. And love ro se the Wayland PIP support. Can't wait until Firefox gets support for this.

I switched from Gnome to KDE Plasma because I find it more stable and more integrated since many of the features I otherwise miss are out of the box in KDE Plasma, and you do not need third party extensions which are quite unstable. Also later found out Plasma is much more configurable and personalizable so I xan really fit it best to my orefered workflow. I also find KDE developers listen to their users much more.

Started regularly donating last year and it is well worth it. KDE Plasma is the best desktop in existance and they also make one of the best FOSS applications.

For me the best KDE software integration is in openSUSE, also love their YaST graphical control center and BTRFS filesystem snappshoting integration with the package manager and the control center. Second best distro for me is Fedora KDE.

Same here for the last couple of years. KDE Plasma is by far the best computer desktop environment and getting even better fast. Complete opposite to closed corporate desktops on Windows and macOS which are quite bad these days and getting even worse. Corporate desktop ensittification is in full swing for years now. I am so glad for the wonderful KDE Plasma desktop (and GNU/Linux oprating system in general), which still respects my basic human rights like freedom, privacy and does not try to push that Annoying Idiocy down my throat. Thanks a bunch to all free software developers for making all this possible.

Yup completely sick of all this and all the harm it already produces, be it environmental or webhosting where they DOS you server scraping everything on it, or fake "AI" generated bug reports and other spam for FOSS projects or all the money it sucks out of really useful and really socially beneficial projects where money (and other resources, including attention) would be much smarter spent on. I hope all this "AI" or annoying idiocy hype crashes soon.

Better late then never. Always good to get rid of bloated spyware/adware.
