KDE's 2024 fundraiser hits the goal - clearly their donation pop-up works
4 Dec 2024 at 9:37 am UTC Likes: 1

Its only fair. I use KDE on multiple systems. My parents are using it too. They wanted to switch years ago, both had enough of Windows and my mom didn't understand the Windows 10 start menu. My dad also used a paid video editor and was constantly pestered with popups which urged him rather aggressively to update to the next (paid) version. They are quite happy with the change.

They recently bought a Lenovo Flex notebook/tablet thingy and they demanded my to wipe Windows off it and install Fedora KDE. So I did. With some configuration everything works perfectly.

So that's quite a lot of systems and I happily donate to the team as I clearly can see the improvements with every update. The same counts for Thunderbird BTW.

Oh yeah, my support requests went down with 80% since the switch.

Well, I guess in 30 years I will need to retro bright this one too. As I had to do with my Commodore 64's.

I donate annually. I have it running on multiple systems including those my parents use. So not more than normal that they receive something in return.

Fedora 41 is out now with plenty of enhancements like easier NVIDIA driver installs

Nah, Fedora is very nice and I am a very happy KDE spin user. But, I won't recommend it to new users. Fedora is typically a distro one grows to while gaining experience. IMHO of course.

I'm not really into multi player games either. :unsure:

Yeah, Bethesda broke quite a lot of mods with their last update.

Last time I was tinkering with mods I launched everything with SteamTinkerLaunch. That worked quite nicely. I used Vortex mod manager.

Command & Conquer was one of my favorites. This looks really promising!
