That is great news! I moved to KDE about a year ago and was blown away by how refined and customizable the experience is. Won’t be moving away from Void but I’m glad to see KDE having more mainstream access and support!

I was in Burger King this week and was pleased to see that their drink dispenser machine was running KDE. Presumably due to some technical issue the taskbar was visible with some entry for their custom touchscreen sugar water emitting application. I wonder if they'll switch to using Silverblue now and get a more reliable setup.

Awesome! I much prefer KDE over GNOME and with all recent enhancements to Plasma this is a very welcome change (short of KDE being the default).

I hope they know what they're doing. New users are already confused which to pick and KDE shouldn't draw resources from Workstation.
