Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

We asked a designer to make a logo we could use for the Plasma 6 _CAMPAIGN_, not for Plasma 6 itself.

We asked for something that would remind people of the Plasma logo (a folded piece of paper with three dots), but that also looked like a 6. This what they came up with.

So no, not the new Plasma logo.

Sorry.

We will keep the campaign open so, even if you can't donate by the deadline, you can still get a chance to be mentioned in our acknowledgements later on in the Plasma 6 series.

You make it possible for us to do more and better things for our community and users.

IMPORTANT

Please note that release candidates, although often called "sneak peeks", are still work in progress and must be installed and used with extreme care. They will contain bugs, some of which may still be critical. Do not use this software in production environments. Use for testing only.
