We have archived the Dot -- because we have something better now

The Dot has served the KDE Community well as a the source of news for all our projects and contributors.

But, as KDE has grown, the amount of news has grown with us, to the point it has become impractical to filter it all through one source.

Check out our solution:

It's an oldish HP Spectre with a foldable touchscreen from 2018.

Actually works very well.

That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.

You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.

If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:

No ads, no spyware, no demos, as all software is fully functional and free. Also no subscriptions, no license fees, no unwanted communications.

A KDE-based system includes lots of customization possibilities (i.e. you can change practically everything in you system and desktop environment), but is also perfectly functional as is, even if you do not change a thing.

KDE software will work on most hardware, even on old, under-powered computers.
