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

Happy birthday!

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.

Happy birthday and thank you!

I just came to think that I started using KDE when it was at version 1 Beta 4. (Or was it 3?)

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Happy birthday KDE! Your DE and other freewares are well-crafted pieces of art!

Wait, KDE was developed for BSD?

[-] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 1 day ago

Still is, it's available on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

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

A lot of things are available on BSD out of pity

Happy birthday! KDE is my favorite DE and it just keeps getting better every year!

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 ❀️

@blackcoffeerider @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

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. :)

[-] Zansuvobr@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Solus@fosstodon.org 2 points 2 days ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Happy birthday to an absolutely wonderful project! We hope that everyone involved in it gets lots of cake today!
