Hello KDE Community,
Although building something like Free Software is fulfilling in itself, it is sometimes nice to get recognition for the work you do and know that it is appreciated by others too. That is why, from time to time, the Promo team goes and scours social media for comments from people whose lives you have helped make better. What follows are but a few of the most recent comments. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Enjoy Aniqa Khokhar -------------------- Always bringing those next level details, this time in the nostalgia department. Thank you @kdecommunity for all the hard work you do to bring the best user experience possible to #Linux. We are lucky to have such passionate, friendly, and talented developers like you. 👍👏🙏 -- @linux_plus_plus, commenting on the Kwin effects tip https://twitter.com/linux_plus_plus/status/1278999652914941953 -------------------- KDE is just the best <3 -- @Shroobster, commenting on the Kwin effects tip https://twitter.com/Shroobster/status/1279002628656173056 -------------------- In the quick test KDE 5.19: a masterpiece of aesthetics, a transformer unparalleled The fourth version of the KDE desktop was sad to watch. Bugs, more bugs, weird choices and a toy-like look. Fortunately, the developers of Plasma learned a lesson, and KDE's Fifth Coming has been a sheer winning streak. If you focus on the mere looks, many beautiful things go unnoticed. The KDE interface is already excellent by default. Calling it a lousy copy of Windows, you should dive deeper than just the boot menu. If you still think that the KDE interface is just a copy of Windows, you might want to consider an eye test. -- Mikro Bitti (Finnish tech publication) https://www.mikrobitti.fi/testit/pikatestissa-kde-519-estetiikan-mestariteos-muodonmuuttaja-vailla-vertaa/103986cf-c534-4a96-a2fe-26286102c053 -------------------- Tengo que declararle mi amor a @kde -- Mr Steve's impromptu declaration of love. https://quey.org/@dsteve/104621543352756177 -------------------- KDE just seems too good to be true.

It took me a little bit to get it how I like it but I can't use anything else now. Good job @kde, you've made a desktop which is a pleasure to use. -- @toast relaying their journey to Plasma https://mas.to/@toast/104757512052621070 -------------------- Can't wait to try it out.
