KDE
KDE is a global free software community best known for creating the KDE Plasma desktop environment and a suite of open-source applications.
KDE (originally "K Desktop Environment") was founded in 1996 by Matthias Ettrich to provide a user-friendly graphical interface for Unix-like systems. Over time, it evolved into a vibrant ecosystem of software and contributors. Here's a breakdown of what KDE encompasses:
🖥️ Core Components:
- KDE Plasma: A highly customizable and visually appealing desktop environment for Linux and other Unix-like systems. It includes panels, widgets, system settings, and window management.
- KDE Frameworks: Modular libraries that support KDE applications and can be used independently by other software projects.
- KDE Gear: A collection of KDE applications released together, including tools like:
- Krita (digital painting)
- Kate (text editor)
- Kdenlive (video editor)
- digiKam (photo management)
- Konsole (terminal emulator)
- Display Manager: SSDM
- Window Manager: kwin
