What is KDE?
An international community developing the world’s finest free and open-source software.
KDE’s software powers NASA, CERN, Mercedes electric vehicles, the Steam Deck, your favorite YouTuber, and schools, governments, and offices throughout the world.
Our software breathes new life into old devices, and turbo-charges new ones. Anyone is welcome to use our software for free, or to help build it!
Plasma
Plasma is KDE's flagship product, offering the most customizable desktop environment available. The KDE community has the driving goal of making it simple by default, and powerful when needed.
KDE Applications
Powerful, multi-platform, and for everyone
Use KDE software to surf the web, keep in touch with colleagues, friends and family, manage your files, enjoy music and videos; and get creative and productive at work. The KDE community develops and maintains more than 200 applications which run on any Linux desktop, and often other platforms too.
For You
We develop KDE for everyone, from kids to grandparents and from professionals to hobbyists.
