MA Barbe reviews KDE's contributions to the ecosystem during the State of Libre Graphics keynote at the @lgm 2025.
Although the whole video is interesting, the KDE section starts at 32:00 and covers the newest graphical features in #Plasma6, @Krita, @kdenlive and Glaxnimate.

Now it is time to put all of Plasma through its paces again!
If you are a tester, take it for a spin and submit bug reports to:
@Rhababerbarbar @kde@lemmy.kde.social
That is the proposal page. Of all proposals, and there are always quite few, the community votes and selects three to work on for two years. This one was not selected.
@muelsyse @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Spectacle release cycle has moved to that of Plasma and will be installed with Plasma, as a part of Plasma.
It used to be am independent app and on many distros you would install it separately (like on Arch) and its release cycle was that of KDE Gear.
And let's not forget everyone who contributed by using, testing, or blogging about our projects! Whether it was with code, art, bug reports, social media posts, or anything else, by desinterestedly lending your time and skill, regardless of if it was on a regular basis (shout out to all our hardworking devs!) or with a one-time, flyby commit that sniped a bug out of your favorite app, you too helped make KDE better for everybody this year.

Have a great holiday 🎄!
We also want to thank everyone who donated through the pop-up. We're very grateful for your support!
Many people said they wished they could donate more. Please don't think you didn't make a difference! Every euro will help!
@franklin @kde@lemmy.kde.social
You donate €50 or more and you can choose an app you would like to express your support for from the list. Your name then appears on the app's apps.kde.org page as a supporter until the next relase of KDE Gear (25.04).

* KTuberling is for the younger users, and lets them build up a potato head, robot, pizza, and more -- with added voices!
Have a fun!
Use KDE Connect:
On your phone, go into wher you keep your files (say, your photo gallery). Select the ones you want to transfer (1). Tap the share button (2), and the devices paired with your phone will show up (3). Tap the computer you want to send your files to and they will show up in the "Downloads" directory of that machine a few seconds later (depending on their size, of course).
It works both ways, also from laptop to phone, and even between phones and computers.
@frumble @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Long press the spacebar on the keyboard on your phone and chose the KDE Connect keyboard (see first picture).
Then click on the KDE Connect plasmoid on your desktop, click in the text box (see second picture) and start typing.
You can also use your phone and KDE Connect as a mouse and keyboard for your desktop.

KDE devs are working on this. It has become a priority of the "We care about your Input" goal.
