Are you sure you were not seeing only notifications from your phone mirrored onto your desktop and not actual downloads? Bear in mind that is one of KDE Connect's features, showing notifications on the desktop of stuff happening on the phone. It doesn't mean that what the notification is telling you is happening on the desktop.
KDE has an office in Germany for administrative purposes, but its base is worldwide. As a non-profit charity, we have rivalries with no-one.

I still play the games. Testing GCompris is a massive time sink. You get caught up in all the activities.

I’m looking for an up-to-date Plasma 6 tutorial for making plasmoids. Just a simple “Hello world” done correctly for Plasma 6.
Good point. Let's see if we can find someone to update that.
In the meantime, you may want to visit this page , as it contains dozens of link to resources, chatrooms, and mailing list that will put you in touch with the people that can help with your effort.
We have made ads... ironically. With tongues stuck firmly in cheeks, we tried to imagine how one would go about making ads for things as unmarketable as Konsole, Elisa, Okular, some minor Plasma features, etc.
We definitely posted this with promotional purposes 😬 . Word-of-mouth is great, but it sometimes needs a shove to reach new people. We hope you folks don't mind.
No ads, no spyware, no demos, as all software is fully functional and free. Also no subscriptions, no license fees, no unwanted communications.
A KDE-based system includes lots of customisation possibilities (i.e. you can change practically everything in you system and desktop environment), but is also perfectly functional as is, even if you do not change a thing.
KDE software will work on most hardware, even on older computers.
Note that a KDE system is a different experience from Windows. There are different apps -- instead of Microsoft Office, you would use LibreOffice, for example; instead of Photoshop, you would use Krita or GIMP, etc.. This requires you approach KDE system and its Plasma desktop with an open mind.
On the other hand, KDE brings you lots of interesting features you probably did not think possible, like near perfect integration between your phone and your desktop, plenty of tools to control your system, and easy and safe management of all the apps on your system.
Also, bear in mind that it is created by a community of users, not a company. We are not in it to make money off of you. In fact the community has organised itself as a non-profit charity. It is worth pointing out there is a strong community of teachers within the KDE community, as we produce quite a lot of educational software, including GCompris:
If you would like to learn more, start here:
Or just ask. We will be happy to guide you in your discovery of KDE, will be happy to answer your questions, and will appreciate your feedback and thoughts.
We asked the project maintainers, but they lack the resources and time to moderate a community like that at the moment.

Support of these kind of devices on Wayland is still a bit of hit and miss and WiP AFAIK. I have two devices: a cheapo Wacom Intuos something that didn't work at all a month ago, but now works out of the box, and an XP Pen tablet that is recognised, but I can't configure the drawing area.
I guess what I am saying is "patience". Things are improving every day, but not all devices are totally supported yet.

> Using dices in elementary school to play mathematical games allows to train logic and strategy. Before that, dice patterns need to be learned. "Number with dice" helps pupils in preschool to quickly count the dots present on a dice and offers practice to train dice patterns recognition, preparing children for the elementary school.
There are less obnoxious ways of pointing out a typo than what you did.

Ah Yes! Super-useful when combined with the KDE PIM calendar and a location, you get all your todos, events and a the weather forecast in one place. Still Plasma 5 only unfortunately.
That's because the rest have probably not been ported to Plasma 6. I am missing a bunch of widgets which still do not have Plasma 6 ports.
Like there is on Reddit. That's a good idea
A Plasma developer told me that the NextCloud client would have to be ported (by NextCloud) to Frameworks 6 to get all its prior functionalities back. Apparently it is still using Frameworks 5.
Correct. The theme creator missed a variable that is not part of the Plasma environment anymore, and instead of running
rm -Rf [something]
it run
rm -Rf
😬
A user has had a bad experience installing a global theme on Plasma and lost personal data.
Global themes do not only change the look of Plasma, but also the behavior. To do this they run code, and this code can be faulty, as in the case mentioned above. The same goes for widgets and plasmoids.
We are calling on the community to help us locate and quarantine defective software by using the "Report" buttons available on each item in the KDE Store.
Please see this linked image to locate them.
Nevertheless, this will take time and resources. We recommend all users to be careful when installing and running software not provided directly by KDE or your distros.
And remember to report any faulty products you find!

Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 6.
.0 versions can contain bugs not found in the pre-launch versions. You can help us get them removed by reporting them. And look out for updates to Plasma, as they will come with many fixes over the next few weeks!
As for the themes and widgets created by third parties, we have already publicly advised developers to port their stuff. We have two pages available to guide them, one for themes, one for widgets.
If you, the user, discover your favourite theme or widget is failing, please look for it in the KDE Store and notify the author, as KDE has no control or leverage over third party developers.
Thank you

David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE's software), and everything in between.
Fire away, Lemmy!
--- We were expecting to be done in an hour and we have past the 2-hour mark already! Time flies when you are having fun.
Thank you for all the questions and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, but the devs must get back to making Plasma 6 great.
Please keep the conversation going and KDE contributors will continue to answer over the next days as time permits.
Thank you all!!
