Fundraiser Appreciation Thread: Thank you for your support!
We thank every single donor and appreciate every donation we have received. Every € will be used wisely and will help support KDE contributors in their task of creating the best Free Software for the whole wide world.
https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/
The fundraiser is not over! We want to reach €70K by the end of January, but we would like to start acknowledging all those who have adopted KDE apps and made our community's job easier.
We start by sending out our gratitude to Tanguy Fardet and dabe for adopting NeoChat, our native Matrix chat app that works both on desktop and mobile devices. You can still adopt it as there are 3 slots left.
Tokodon, KDE's Mastodon app for desktop and mobile, has been adopted by @petejones, @DaisyLee and Karcsesz, and still has 2 slots left.
Merkuro, our next generation calendaring system, has been adopted by manchicken and Nithanim, and there is still space for more adoptions.
One of our newer apps, a multiplatform eBook reader called Arianna, was adopted by Erik Bernoth.
fat_malama, Alexandru Traistaru, Neeko iko, Daniel Lloyd-Miller and mdPlusPlus adopted KDE Connect, the app that lets you connect your mobile and desktop devices in multiple useful and fun ways.
The increasingly powerful travel assistant Itinerary was adopted bu jxn_30 and Gabriel Karlsson.
The little known, but very useful KRuler app was adopted by Ofnuts.
Dolphin, KDE's powerful gateway to your files, servers and software repos, was was adopted by Ian Lohmann, Anthony Perrett, Linus Seelinger, Nils Martens, mdPlusPlus and txemaq.
Many thanks to Dr. Denis Stogl, Vladimir Solomatin, Akseli Lahtinen, Tjelta Meihack and Nithanim for adopting Kate, KDE advanced text editor and development environment.
Likewise, KWrite, Kate's sister editor for those who do not need all Kate's features, was adopted William Herman.
Okular, KDE's PDF, comic and document reader, was adopted by George Fakidis, Paxriel, tmpod, mdPlusPlus, Greg Helding and Archie Lamb.
Konsole, KDE's classic terminal emulator loaded with features, was adopted by Anders Lund, GhulDev, William Wojciechowski and Tobias Junghans.
FileLight, and app that shows how much space you have used on your disks, has been adopted by EisiBaer, Henning Lammert and Thibault Molleman, and still has 2 open spaces.
Kasts let's you stream or download and plave podcasts on your deskto or phones, and has been Henning Lammert and Marco Ryll. Three adoption spots still open!
Spectacle is a powerful app for taking screenshots an screencasts of your desktop and has been adopted by DomiStyle, Nithanim, JB and Thibault Molleman. Hurry! Only one spot left!
Kontact is a complete suite for emails, calendars, contacts, and task. It has been adopted by Matthew Lamont and F.
There are still many apps to be adopted: LabPlot, a very powerful data analysis and visualization suite has all its slots open; as does AudioTube, a useful app that lets you easily find and play music from YouTube.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social can you make a post that just says :3
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Wow! I am nowhere in the posts! I am offended! /j
Jokes aside, i am a proud user of KDE apps. uwu
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thank you all for making this incredible software suite, you deserve all the love 
This fundraiser initiative was a very good shot, well done!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social So many people are sleeping on #Okular
it's insane how many capabilities it has. Such an underrated application
@thibaultmol @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social underrated is every kde application out there.
@thibaultmol @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I totally agree. We even use the #okular part in #RKWard. Okular is really great software.
@thibaultmol @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
What would be your top3 user level capabilities?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I could imagine if this is multi touch compatible, on a touchscreen laptop would be really cool
Cue KRuler maintainers wondering about the spike of downloads they haven’t seen in like 15 years.
@Bro666 You could say that the app..
.....
Krules!
Angry upvote 
@Bro666 the best kind of upvote
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Wait, that's a thing??? I need that! :v
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is it possible to have centimeters too on the ruler? Can do that by asking the size of the monitors, i think.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social One of the biggest reasons why I love KDE. Being able to do easy local network file transfers is so nice.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thanks for the mention.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Many thank for accompanying me on my linux journey since 2018!
@kde@floss.social @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social this may be a loaded question, but when will we see KDE on mobile? I dream of the day when, whatever device I pick, even if it is someone else's or a loaner from the hotel, I sign in and all my stuff is there, familiar and ready to use.
Web-based is almost there, but I'd rather it worked like KDE 
@teledyn @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Plasma Mobile works quite well:
In other news, many of KDE's apps are convergent, meaning they work both on desktops and mobile platforms.
@kde@floss.social @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social
I see on the list of supported devices that my old Samsung Tab A T350 is a likely candidate for #postmarketos although without any camera. It's tempting, but I would first want to know if it is indeed any faster than it was in android 7, or at least no slower 
@teledyn @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Note that Plasma Mobile is still an experimental system. Your mileage will vary A LOT in many areas.
@kde@floss.social @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Oh, I know, but we've been waiting for this for hundreds of years!
@kde@floss.social @teledyn @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social
At some point, I would like to see a #Bazzite version using Kinoite Mobile's image. I think Plasma Mobile would be right at home on my Steam Deck and Lenovo 2-in-1 Tablet.
@teledyn @kde@floss.social @DaisyLee @petejones @kde@lemmy.kde.social i've daily driven Plasma Mobile for over a year and during this it has improved a lot in many areas. Overall speed could be slightly better, but definedly not slow.
My experience has been only on Oneplus 6, though.
For me, UI is the best I've ever used on mobile.
