Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

      Can you define “operating system” in common, non-technical English, as to an end user?

      @SanchoPanza @kde @[email protected] Sure it’s not a full operating system but Plasma and the KDE Frameworks and apps are a large portion of the user space, has a lot of hardware integration and is that the user interact with not with the kernel directly.

        So if we pull out the kernel/Linux, we can run hardware and applications with Plasma/KDE?

            So it’s not an operating system, it’s a desktop. It can also run on Windows. It’s not an operating system.

        @SanchoPanza @kde @[email protected] Also it’s way easier to communicate to non Linux users that Plasma is an operating system than a desktop environnement has Windows and macOS have no concept of desktop environnement.

        Or do you call macOS aqua?

          Wouldn’t it be more accurate to describe KDE neon or another GNU/Linux distribution?
