Big Tech’s disregard for privacy laws and individuals’ personal data has become a matter of national security. As news of willful mismanagement fill the headlines on an almost daily basis, the world is beginning to turn away from expensive and insecure spyware-riddled software imposed by the likes of Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple, et al.

The investment will be used to strengthen the structural reliability and security of KDE’s core infrastructure, including Plasma, KDE Linux, and the frameworks underlying its communication services.

    KDE is the only remaining “heavyweight” desktop environment that treats its users like adults

      Im curious what makes you say this?

      I switched to KDE a couple months ago after updating to ubuntu 25.10 and finding out gnome is forcing wayland going forward, but most of my daily used applications dont work on wayland at all. KDE will atleast still support X11 for another couple years.

      I really wish I could go back to gnome as I just really don’t like how little KDE has thought about multi monitors with its bottom panels/task managers.
