KDE is an international technology team creating user-friendly free and open source software for desktop and portable computing. KDE’s software runs on GNU/Linux, BSD and other operating systems, including Windows.
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?
Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.
Plasma is a desktop environment and NOT a OS. Might want to know whet you are talking about before posting.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Plasma=operating system ???!!!???🤔
@SanchoPanza @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Sure it's not a full operating system but Plasma and the KDE Frameworks and apps are a large portion of the user space, has a lot of hardware integration and is that the user interact with not with the kernel directly.
@carlschwan @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
So if we pull out the kernel/Linux, we can run hardware and applications with Plasma/KDE?
@SanchoPanza @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Also it's way easier to communicate to non Linux users that Plasma is an operating system than a desktop environnement has Windows and macOS have no concept of desktop environnement.
Or do you call macOS aqua?
@carlschwan @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe KDE neon or another GNU/Linux distribution?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I use #gnulinux and KDE, now #kdeplasma since "I don't remember when" years, before the existence of #fedora.
I use it at work, home, to play videogames, for everything, and I can only recommend them. Step forward, respect yourself, take back your freedom and give them a chance.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Using Gnome 45. Absolute adore it's out of the box polish. But yeah, Linux > Mac >>>>>>> Windows
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Even though I don't prefer KDE Plasma as my desktop environment, I support this due to being #LibreSoftware and considering what it opposes.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I already use Plasma 5.27 on Debian GNU/Linux :bunhdhappy:
Though I cannot wait for Plasma 6!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social "We turned your computer into a platform designed to bombard you with ads, full of useless bloatware, a system designed to pigeon hole you into using and paying for Microsoft products, which is unsafe to connect to the internet without an antivirus and which will break every time we force an update on you." = What Microsoft would say if they were honest describing Windows!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social A friendly reminder that Plasma is a DE and not an OS!
Loving your work btw!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I wish all those proclamations were achievable without a boat load of tradeoffs:
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social KDE, I enjoy the software + the cute artwork, but please don't be rude to Microsoft!! They also include Linux and they like Linux too, so you and Microsoft should be friends :3
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Never heard of Plasma, nor am I in linux ecosystem yet, but from brief googling Plasma telemetry and developer attitude towards it is concerning
https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/f2bg69/kde_plasma_518_comes_with_builtin_telemetry_optin/
@shved @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is opt-in, not opt-out.
No telemetry gets collected unless you explicitly give permission (and they don't nag or try to trick you into giving it). Overall, KDE is incredibly good for privacy
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I love plasma for not being gnome but I'm tired of all the bugs I've got with each and every update on arch. Your stable channel is actually a forever beta channel.
At this point I'm just waiting and hoping Cosmic will be good enough.
@johnfocker
I haven't had any bugs with either Plasma or Archlinux. What issues are you having?
