👉 KDE (KDE Plasma) is a widely-used, open-source desktop environment that incorporates the KDE Plasma application framework. At its core, KDE engineering focuses on creating a highly customizable and extensible desktop environment that leverages the power of the KDE Plasma framework. This framework provides a robust, modular architecture that allows developers to build and integrate custom applications, widgets, and themes seamlessly. KDE engineering emphasizes user experience through a clean, intuitive interface, with a focus on accessibility and performance. It supports multiple operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows through Wine, ensuring broad compatibility. Additionally, KDE's modular design enables users to tailor their desktop setup to specific needs, from advanced developers to casual users, by adding or removing components as desired.
