What is KDE for you?

For me KDE is:

working with great people
good friends
people to depend on
a community that helps me do things I would never have imagined I would be able to do
me going to random places around the world and having a couch to sleep on
a team that gets stuff done
having someone to share good and bad things with
people who are so far away and yet so close
a team that brings me to my limits
a crowd that has seemingly endless energy to make better software
so much more than just a desktop environment.

Um, hate to be a bubble burster, but for me, KDE is a desktop environment. A very good one, though.

I trust that this new move on the part of the KDE community will be good in the long run, but for now it seems really strange. Not looking forward to telling non-linux users that I’m using “Plasma Desktop”. And the flame wars… “GNOME vs Plasma Desktop/Netbook/Tablet/Toaster…”

I speak in jest, of course.

Hehe yea. It is going to feel a little strange at the beginning. But trust me, it will get better and feel right (TM) soon.

Yah Lydia you are absolutely right, KDE is not just a desktop. For me also it is much more than that. The words are not sufficient to describe about the community
