As it was previously stated there (and officially on https://kde.org/community/whatiskde/), since more than ten years ago, KDE is a group of people. As Jonathan Riddell said more than five years ago:
KDE has long since moved past being just a desktop project. We’re now a community with hundreds of end-user focused projects. From educational games like GCompris to teaching tools like WikiToLearn to technical projects like Necessitas (now upstream happily making Qt work on Android) it’s a great place to help on open source in a way that gets to the whole world and not just coders.

More importantly, why do you keep using a link that defends my arguments and views instead of finding a link that defends your arguments and views? That link literally proves the initial point of how my use of is and are is correct and that your use of is and are is incorrect in regards to the KDE name.
Are you still using it because you caught me using the old term of K Desktop Environment? You should have used Wikipedia to prove me wrong there and not with a link that invalidated every point you tried to make in this entire argument.

KDE is an international team co-operating on development and distribution of Free, Open Source Software for desktop and portable computing.
I don't care what tildearrow wrote. He wasn't incorrectly correcting Michael's headline. You were.
I will concede that K Desktop Environment is depreciated even though I assume that most people still read it as K Desktop Environment. Everywhere else in the desktop world the acronym of "DE" stands for "Desktop Environment" so one can assume it will be read that way here too regardless of what KDE actually says on the matter. If they don't like that then they should change the name of the entire project because KDE will never lose the assumed Desktop Environment nomenclature baggage without a different name.Last edited by skeevy420; 21 June 2021, 02:17 PM.

I got one and it seems like Plasma Is slow. I'm still waiting for a cable to go from 30hz to 60hz, but it seems even the mouse pointer is slow.
I've been reading about tildearrow LowLatency patches, but it seems they are not maintained anymore. Would KWinFT be a solution? I'm using X.
