Broaching from classics like Okular, KStars and digiKam, to new arrivals such as Drawy, Mankala, and keepSecret, we look forward to a productive summer with, lots of learning and lots of commits.

 

KDE is all about innovating and moving forward, but Katie hadn't changed her apparel in more than 10 years.

Now, sporting an orange hoodie and leggings, she's ready to spring into action and stomp on all those pesky bugs!

 

After 30 years, KDE continues to deliver the apps that make your digital life better.

In this release:

  • Check out Kdenlive's transitions with animated previews
  • Streamline your workflow with shortcuts for nearly any option in Dolphin
  • Organise your day with Merkuro's re-designed schedule manager

And much more!

 

Contribute to our gallery of historic photos, tell us a story about that time KDE got you out of a pickle, or share a little-known KDE-related fact.

Become a supporting member and help guarantee the next 30 years of top-notch free software.

Or, most important of all, organize a KDE-themed event/party and we'll include it on our map!

 

... And Plasma's first-run setup wizard can now adapt to mobile screens, the Falkon web browser gets an in-built chat client and bookmark syncing, and the Mankala engine gets a spectacular new board re-design.

Wow! Excellent work! Would you not want to make this an official KDE project and get the full support from KDE?

Most KDE projects are acts of (dare I say it) love 💘 . People start projects, contribute to them, and maintain them, because they love them. The original spark may be need, an itch that needs scratching, but what keeps a project going is the thought that "wouldn't it be fun if...".

So that's your first reason.

The second reason is that the status quo doesn't stay the same forever. You are right: support for Linux on streaming for Linux users sucks and is often deliberately fked. But the status quo of, say games on Linux... oh, what? Five years ago? Also sucked and was deliberately fked, and look now.

KDE is not a company. It's contributors do not have to adhere to schedules or the current status quo. They can wait and improve as they wait. Very often the work they put into pays off in the future for the benefit of everybody.

And that is reason number 2.

Please do not spread FUD. It's not "in KDE Discover". It is on some distro's repository. What a distro let's on their repository is not KDE's responsibility.

Please submit a bug report to https://bugs.kde.org/

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, but not very useful for our use case. We want to copy things super simple.

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 11 months ago

Not cheap. €50 for ten, but they are re-usable, so...

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 9 points 11 months ago

? These will be used by the Spanish KDE team and have been made by said team. They are not to be distributed or left lying around or anything like that.
