> What is KDE Plasma exactly?
Good question, and one of the harder ones to answer: Exactly, exactly it is "desktop environment". That is, a graphical environment and a series of graphical utilities that allow you to manage most aspects of your computer, and provides the infrastructure needed by your apps to run.

> Wait KDE needs more money?
Yes. We need money to pay for personnel salaries, our yearly
Akademy event, travel for community members to sprints and other events, the maintenance and rent of our tech infrastructure, rent for our Office, taxes and insurance, and other stuff.
KDE's software is always evolving and being worked on. We need money to keep things moving, otherwise the KDE project and most of the software projects that rely on it would die.

Some of these apps are quite news and have not made there way into many mainstream distros yet.
"KDE" is a community of volunteers that makes and distributes Free Software.
"KDE Software" is all the apps, frameworks and libraries the KDE community produces. The KDE Software includes something called "Plasma".
Plasma is a desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems (e.g. Linux and BSDs) developed by the KDE community.
Hope that helps.
