KDE user since version 2. Fell in love with KMail. Even upgraded my RAM from 16 to 48MB to run it smoothly lol.

Stopped used it at version 4, the new kdepim was atrocious. But now it's usable again. Probably my largest peeve is how there's advanced desktop search/semantic engine but it has no own interface as if the devs were ashamed of it, search results only appear when you type something in menu. And if you google nepomuk/baloo most ppl just ask how to turn it off.

After years of distro hopping I landed on KDE NixOS and stuck with it ever since. Stable, featureful, intuitive experience.

KDE is visibly taking off.

Started regularly donating last year and it is well worth it. KDE Plasma is the best desktop in existance and they also make one of the best FOSS applications.

My dream is that The Qt Company will make some monstrous deal with the EU and all the licensing will become 100% opensource while they will be tasked and paid to maintain it longterm and work on it.

Supporting it is important so we have an alternative to GNOME/GTK

GNOME ruined my Linux experience, I'm no fan of the tablet/smartphone UX spreading to desktop

How much do I have to pay to get ISO dates?

Nothing? I've got a date format option for ISO date right now?

You need to upgrade to KDE 11. KDE 10 reached end-of-life.

>Case in point: Microsoft is stopping free support for Windows 10 on hundreds of millions of computers this very week. Many of these old yet perfectly usable devices will not be able to upgrade because of spurious hardware requirements. Microsoft’s solution? “Throw away your computer and pollute the planet because we want to make even more money.”

Windows 10 was released in 2015. Does KDE still support whatever version of KDE was released in 2015?

No but upgrading KDE is free. It also doesn't force new hardware requirements.

KDE 5 was released in 2015 and still supported on Arch Linux. Even KDE 3, released in, 2002 is still supported and installable: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/

Also supported in Slackware 15.0 (stable) and Slackware -current, where it is still the default desktop environment and the planned desktop for the upcoming 15.1 release.

(I'm using Plasma 6.5 beta now btw but the official support still is on 5.x.)

You're misunderstanding - the point is that current (supported) versions of KDE support hardware manufactured in 2015, and current (supproted) versions of Windows will stop doing that very soon.

The point is that KDE from 2015 will still run on today’s hardware.

So will Windows 10, and it will receive as much support as a KDE version from 2015.

It isn't competing with an old KDE, it's competing with the current version of KDE that still works on that hardware.

Counterpoint: any modern linux distro will run fine on your 10yo computer.
