Support Good People and Adopt an App!

Our developers are volunteers, but they still need funding to travel to meetings and events, take time off their day job to implement those crucial features, and buy or rent equipment and server space.

You can help: Adopt an App during our #fundraiser and give our contributors the resources they need!

Donate to our Fundraiser, Support Good People!

@gnome, @tdforg, @fsfe and many other community-driven Free and Open Source organizations are the Good People of the tech world.

This year we are asking you consider them (and also maybe us!) when you #donate. Help out the people that fight for your digital rights, your privacy,and your right to not be exploited by predatory corporations in the tech industry.

KUnifiedPush, KDE's client library for the UnifiedPush protocol, has reached version 1.0.0. KUnifiedPush provides a way to deliver notifications instantly to multiple apps on your devices even if the apps are not running.

Ideal for social media, weather and instant messaging apps, it will also contribute to improving the battery life on your mobile devices.

"KDE" is a community of volunteers that makes and distributes Free Software.

"KDE Software" is all the apps, frameworks and libraries the KDE community produces. The KDE Software includes something called "Plasma".

Plasma is a desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems (e.g. Linux and BSDs) developed by the KDE community.

Hope that helps.

... And can provide a way to save *the state* of an application to disk, stopping the app in its tracks and removing it from memory, so that later you can restore it just where you left off.

The same principles can be applied to jumping from one desktop environment to another, for example, from #Plasma to #Gnome...

Yes.

Close all tabs and open frames until you have one (1) tab and one (1) frame (say your home directory), no split windows.

Tick the "Show Hidden Files" checkbox in your menu (or just hit Ctrl + h) to show hidden files.

All the folders, tabs and frames you open from now on will show the hidden files.

Neon will have it already. Arch is usually fast, too, as is openSUSE Tumbleweed. Beyond that, not sure. Sorry.

It is one of our main goals:

and we are working accessibility design structures into all our software, not only the desktop.

If you have any advice you would like to share, please visit the links and tell us how we should do things.
