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?

[–] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still is, it's available on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago

A lot of things are available on BSD out of pity

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

Happy birthday!

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 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 ❀️

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. :)
