It’s free. Go try it for yourself. There’s nobody better than you to see if it adapts well to your workflow and projects.

Projects always struggle with this—development is always miles ahead. But, hey, look on the bright side: it’s a great way to contribute back.

Aren’t fundraisers great motivators 😉 ?

Try KDE’s Discuss Forum. Also check out the New Contributors’ chat room.

It shows up on the Planet. Does that help?

Which question was not answered?

Also, not to be harsh, but your comment is borderline violating KDE’s CoC. if the volunteers working for free helping out other people do not know the answer to your question, there is not much anybody can do about that 🤷. It does not mean other questions will not be answered.

If you don’t get the answer you are looking for here, get yourself to our Discuss forum. Devs hang out there often and they may be able to help you.

Yes. If the cursor is sluggish, there is something wrong. Get yourself to https://discuss.kde.org/ and ask there.

Why not lend a hand in solving these bugs yourself instead?

In many cases the default is chosen because the people placing the order don’t know any better. An educated staff can help them make better choices.

In the banner? It is the symbol for Plasma, KDE’s desktop environment.

Wrong thread?

There is not a naming scheme. Projects can call their apps whatever they want.

So which part of all those ecosystems are you claiming Europe could not maintain? Before you answer remember that Ubuntu is European, SUSE and openSUSE are European, Manjaro is European, most Arch developers are European, LibreOffice is European, KDE is European, GPG is European… I could go on, but, with all that shared expertise, are you sure that Europe does not possess the know-how to recreate and maintain all and every part of the Linux ecosystem?

Edit: When I say “European” I mean “started in and mainly run by people based in Europe”.

Eeeeh… Not really. Remember licensing guarantees the right to fork. Many developers are not from the US and I would bet that both Asia and Europe (and probably other continents too) have the know how to manage a fork.
