My question: how does everyone on the KDE team continue to be so damn awesome? You guys put out a fantastic product with almost no funding, that rivals the corporate operating systems.
I just renewed my donation for this year, please keep doing what you do.
Recently found KDE Connect, its so sexy wtf
Are you guys coming to the FOSDEM?!
Yes. Our booth will be in building K (of course) as usual. See yo there!
Edit: Apologies: Room H. see @carlschwan@lemmy.kde.social 's message below.
@Bro666 No it will be in building H this year, next to gnome, mastodon and mozilla
Oh! They changed after years! Okay. Thanks!
What are your personal favourite feature coming in Plasma 6?
Please save your questions for tomorrow. We will start a new thread at 5 pm UTC.
Thanks!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @redstrate@mastodon.art Oh hey, I remember you from the Fedora KDE room!
I had a chuckle with his description because "Redondo" translates to "round" in Spanish
With Wayland becoming the "Default" for most distributions now, will KDE begin to integrate some Wayland only features that you're excited about?
I've seem some very interesting experiments for swapping desktop sessions (GNOME to KDE to Sway whole CSGO was running) all without losing state, and storing application state to disk.
Please save your questions for tomorrow. We will start a new thread at 5 pm UTC.
Thanks!
Are you planning to continue plasma mobile blog?

I see what you did there. Many thanks to all of the devs, document writers, testers, bug reporters and so on who make this happen.
I'm excited to see the results!
Since I'm on Debian Stable, that will be years from now. π My consolation is that it will be highly polished by then.
(I may figure out a way to explore it sooner. π )

#DistroSea might be some place where you soon or later can test it.
Maybe load up kde neon in a vm or something
