Enjoy being creeped out? Check out our two Halloween special fundraiser horror stories 🦇 “Night of the Living Bed” and “The Colour out of Waste”.
KDE can continue operating at this rate because we can pay for infrastructure, support our devs at sprints and meetups, and recruit new contributors through our promotional activities at events.
We need your help to keep these activities alive. Remember to donate to our yearly fundraiser!
… Aaaand they’re all gone! Thanks everyone! When we get more perks, we’ll let you know.
Amazing generosity from all of you!
We’re down to 1 (one, uno, ein, एक, واحد) copy. Who wants it?

Help us bring Plasma 6.5 and the rest of KDE’s software catalogue into the mainstream by donating.
Plasma 6.5 is out, and it is a modern, versatile, accessible desktop environment ready for private citizens, companies, and public institutions. Experience it yourself, and you will realise we are on to something big.
70% of our funding comes from you, our friends and users. Donate now and help KDE on its way to world acceptance:

Whoops! Thanks & corrected.
I don’t want to have to deal with settings disappearing on me
That is not what that feature does. Please read the blog post.
Get in touch with the folks running the “We care about your input” goal at

They may be able to advise something.
Wow! Excellent work! Would you not want to make this an official KDE project and get the full support from KDE?
Most KDE projects are acts of (dare I say it) love 💘 . People start projects, contribute to them, and maintain them, because they love them. The original spark may be need, an itch that needs scratching, but what keeps a project going is the thought that “wouldn’t it be fun if…”.
So that’s your first reason.
The second reason is that the status quo doesn’t stay the same forever. You are right: support for Linux on streaming for Linux users sucks and is often deliberately fked. But the status quo of, say games on Linux… oh, what? Five years ago? Also sucked and was deliberately fked, and look now.
KDE is not a company. It’s contributors do not have to adhere to schedules or the current status quo. They can wait and improve as they wait. Very often the work they put into pays off in the future for the benefit of everybody.
And that is reason number 2.
OP, you can help people avoid visiting the Nazi site by using XCancel:
Please do not spread FUD. It’s not “in KDE Discover”. It is on some distro’s repository. What a distro let’s on their repository is not KDE’s responsibility.
Please submit a bug report to https://bugs.kde.org
Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.
