Dear KDE team:

Since the early days of Plasma 5 I won't even consider another DE. Thank you for everything you do, the way you interact with the community of users, and just for being awesome.

Wait, KDE was developed for BSD?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still is, it's available on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

At 28 years old, it's safe to say Leo doesn't use KDE.

Happy birthday!

Thank you for making me feel old again. I am a big fan of KDE since Beta 3....
I've gone astray a few times but always came back even after the Nepomuk disaster.... Keep up the great work ❀️

@blackcoffeerider @[email protected] @[email protected]

Similar to me. But I came in a bit later with KDE 3.1 on SuSE 9.0 - aaaaall the way back in November 2003. Played with Fluxbox, XFCE, e16, but always came back and still rolling it now. :)

@telepresence
@kde

Yes absolutely, the workflows especially in Dolphin, Plasma search, Panel are just great.

Happy birthday! I've been a long time linux user, but really only recently starting using KDE on a regular basis after becoming enamored of Manjaro. It has truly transformed over the years and is an excellent desktop environment.

Thank you for all your hard work to make a such great desktop env, ❀️
