From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My god I'm so excited for plasma 6. It's like getting a new house except it's free, barely any effort by me is needed, and it's already tested by others

If you can please donate to the kde organisation. That funding will prove invaluable for future development of plasma

Edit : I am not a contributor to plasma. Just an open source enthusiast who thinks that we should give back to the amazing people who create this software either by contributing to the projects or through monetary means. The degree of contribution is not important, the spirit behind it is
