Donor appreciation post: Thank you for all your generosity 💖!
We are close to reaching our first fundraiser stretch goal...
https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/
... And we want to thank everybody who made this possible. You have guaranteed KDE's survival for yet another year.
We are at 95% of our first stretch goal!
With less than €3,000 to go, our fundraiser is about to cross the €50,000 mark, and we will be entering the final stretch of our campaign.
Will your donation push us over the line?
@franklin @kde@lemmy.kde.social
You donate €50 or more and you can choose an app you would like to express your support for from the list. Your name then appears on the app's apps.kde.org page as a supporter until the next relase of KDE Gear (25.04).
Adoptable Games - part 🎲🎲
What are your favorite KDE games? Here are some of ours, now up for adoption:
* Kubrick - Rubik's cube simulator with lots of different cubes to pick from
* KGoldRunner - Platformer that combines arcade action with problem-solving
* Picmi - A simple, but surprisingly addictive logic game
* KiGo - Play Go against the computer or friend. Multiple board sizes and levels of difficulties
Konsole, KDE's classic terminal emulator loaded with features, was adopted by Anders Lund, GhulDev, William Wojciechowski and Tobias Junghans.
The little known, but very useful KRuler app was adopted by Ofnuts.
Plasma allows you to configure how your desktop looks, manage connections to the network, provides graphical connections to your devices (mice, hard disks, printers, etc.), let's you run your programs with ease, and also lets different programs to graphically communicate with each other (via, for example, drag and drop).
> What is KDE Plasma exactly?
Good question, and one of the harder ones to answer: Exactly, exactly it is "desktop environment". That is, a graphical environment and a series of graphical utilities that allow you to manage most aspects of your computer, and provides the infrastructure needed by your apps to run.

Right. Maybe submit a bug report?:

It sounds like the kind of issue the folks of the "We care about your Input" goal would want to tackle.
