Plasma - 25th Anniversary Edition
25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation) has just landed in KDE's repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme: Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE: extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayla...

HISTORY OF KDE - Discovering KDE part 3
1 - Why KDE ?
KDE used to stand for the "K" Desktop Environment. Why K ? No reason, at some point, it stood for "Kool", but that meaning has been dropped since. It also looks like CDE, which was a popular desktop environment on Unix systems back in the 90's. These days, KDE is more than just a desktop environment, so it's just KDE? no real meaning behind that !

K desktop environment (KDE)
K desktop environment (KDE) is a desktop working platform with a graphical user interface (GUI) released in the form of an open-source package. When KDE was first released, it acquired the name Kool desktop environment, which was then abbreviated as K desktop environment. The KDE GUI is equipped with everything users typically need, including a file manager, window manager, help tool and system configuration tool.
The KDE project is still ongoing. Developers discuss their collaborative plans online through an official KDE mailing list, many newsgroups and Internet relay chat.
The KDE project was first launched by Matthias Ettrich in 1996. Ettrich intended to offer a more convenient Unix-based desktop environment for novice computer users. Ettrich chose to use a GUI, which is more understa...

1 - Why KDE ?
KDE used to stand for the "K" Desktop Environment. Why K ? No reason, at some point, it stood for "Kool", but that meaning has been dropped since. It also looks like CDE, which was a popular desktop environment on Unix systems back in the 90's. These days, KDE is more than just a desktop environment, so it's just KDE? no real meaning behind that !
2 - KDE's origins
Started in 96 by Matthias Ettrich, KDE has one goal: unifying Unix's desktop environments which looked and acted a lot differently back in the day. It was created using the Qt library, and the C++ language.
Nowadays, Qt is free software, but back then, it wasn't, so some developers decided to create their own DE from a free toolkit, and that's how GNOME was born. So, in a way, KDE actually led to the creation of GNOME.
3 - KDE 1.0
1.0 was the first real release of KDE. It looked like the motif library, which was the most used toolkit at the time. KDE 1.0 supported Linux and FreeBSD. This first version was little more than an application developing framework, and the premices of a few applications, with a panel, a task manager and an application launcher, a desktop where you could store some icons, a file manager called KFM, and a few other utilities.
4 - KDE 2.0
About 2 years later, KDE 2.0 was released. It was almost completely re-written, and introduced Konqueror, which was a nice concept at the time: file manager AND web browser in one application. Koffice, the KDE office suite, was also part of the release. KDE 2.0 shipped with 14 different themes to show off the theming capabilities of the QT library, and could import GNOME themes as well !
5 - KDE 3.0
In 2002, KDE 3.0 was released. It was a mature, complete release, and it showed. It's also the first one I used on a distro, It shipped with Konqueror for web browsing and file management, Kmail for personal email, Koffice, Korganizer for calendar, as well as Noatun for music playback, and Aktion as a video player. KDE 3.0 went to receive updates until 6 years later, in August of 2008, with KDE 3.5.10, which was as stable as could be, and was used by a wide variety of distributions, such as SUSE or Kubuntu. I was a regular user of KDE 3.5 on Kubuntu, and it was a marvel to tweak. I remember fondly a nice tool called BAGHIRA which allowed you to skin everything to look like any version of Mac OS X, included the brushed metal look, a dock, and a global menu bar.
6 - KDE 4.0
In january of 2008 was released KDE 4.0. It looked stunning at the time, and was in many ways a whole new desktop environment. The panel, widget system called SuperKaramba, and the desktop were fused into one application called Plasma, using Plasmoids - basically widgets. THis concept persists to this day ! KDE 4.0 shipped with dolphin, a whole new file manager, Konqueror for web browsing, as well as Okular for PDF viewing. The theme was called Oxygen, and at the time, it was one of the most beautiful icon and widget themes I'd ever seen. The blue higlights, the scrollbars, the icons, everything looked incredibly polished, next to the potato brown look of my GNOME ubuntu desktop at the time. I still think it's one of the best looking desktops to this day.
KDE 4.0 was not that well received at the time, if memory serves, since it was far from being as stable and full featured as KDE 3.5, with frequent plasma crashes. The subsequent version ranging from 4.1 in July 2008 to 4.14 in august 2014 improved the desktop greatly and made it truly shine.
7 - KDE 5.0
In 2014, KDE divided its core components into 3 blocks: the plasma desktop, the KDE applications, which are the complete suite of KDE compatible programs, and the KDE framework, which are the libraries and components to integrate all this system into a coherent whole.
Plasma 5.0 was released in july of 2014, bringing a whole new look called "Breeze", which is still the default these days. Plasma now used openGL for animations and rendering, using the GPU for what's it's good at, and leaving the CPU for compute intensive tasks. The kickoff menu had been redesigned, and plasma now supported Hi DPI displays. Plasma 5 lacked some of plasma 4 features, which returned in subsequent updates.
KDE kept advancing up until today, with plasma version 5.13 being the currently released version. Nowadays, KDE is a very feature full and nice looking desktop environment and application suite, and is still shipped by plenty of distributions, even though its star has waned a little bit since the KDE 3.5 days, where it was basically ubiquitous.

1 - Why KDE ?
KDE used to stand for the "K" Desktop Environment. Why K ? No reason, at some point, it stood for "Kool", but that meaning has been dropped since. It also looks like CDE, which was a popular desktop environment on Unix systems back in the 90's. These days, KDE is more than just a desktop environment, so it's just KDE? no real meaning behind that !
2 - KDE's origins
Started in 96 by Matthias Ettrich, KDE has one goal: unifying Unix's desktop environments which looked and acted a lot differently back in the day. It was created using the Qt library, and the C++ language.
Nowadays, Qt is free software, but back then, it wasn't, so some developers decided to create their own DE from a free toolkit, and that's how GNOME was born. So, in a way, KDE actually led to the creation of GNOME.
3 - KDE 1.0
1.0 was the first real release of KDE. It looked like the motif library, which was the most used toolkit at the time. KDE 1.0 supported Linux and FreeBSD. This first version was little more than an application developing framework, and the premices of a few applications, with a panel, a task manager and an application launcher, a desktop where you could store some icons, a file manager called KFM, and a few other utilities.
4 - KDE 2.0
About 2 years later, KDE 2.0 was released. It was almost completely re-written, and introduced Konqueror, which was a nice concept at the time: file manager AND web browser in one application. Koffice, the KDE office suite, was also part of the release. KDE 2.0 shipped with 14 different themes to show off the theming capabilities of the QT library, and could import GNOME themes as well !
5 - KDE 3.0
In 2002, KDE 3.0 was released. It was a mature, complete release, and it showed. It's also the first one I used on a distro, It shipped with Konqueror for web browsing and file management, Kmail for personal email, Koffice, Korganizer for calendar, as well as Noatun for music playback, and Aktion as a video player. KDE 3.0 went to receive updates until 6 years later, in August of 2008, with KDE 3.5.10, which was as stable as could be, and was used by a wide variety of distributions, such as SUSE or Kubuntu. I was a regular user of KDE 3.5 on Kubuntu, and it was a marvel to tweak. I remember fondly a nice tool called BAGHIRA which allowed you to skin everything to look like any version of Mac OS X, included the brushed metal look, a dock, and a global menu bar.
6 - KDE 4.0
In january of 2008 was released KDE 4.0. It looked stunning at the time, and was in many ways a whole new desktop environment. The panel, widget system called SuperKaramba, and the desktop were fused into one application called Plasma, using Plasmoids - basically widgets. THis concept persists to this day ! KDE 4.0 shipped with dolphin, a whole new file manager, Konqueror for web browsing, as well as Okular for PDF viewing. The theme was called Oxygen, and at the time, it was one of the most beautiful icon and widget themes I'd ever seen. The blue higlights, the scrollbars, the icons, everything looked incredibly polished, next to the potato brown look of my GNOME ubuntu desktop at the time. I still think it's one of the best looking desktops to this day.
KDE 4.0 was not that well received at the time, if memory serves, since it was far from being as stable and full featured as KDE 3.5, with frequent plasma crashes. The subsequent version ranging from 4.1 in July 2008 to 4.14 in august 2014 improved the desktop greatly and made it truly shine.
7 - KDE 5.0
In 2014, KDE divided its core components into 3 blocks: the plasma desktop, the KDE applications, which are the complete suite of KDE compatible programs, and the KDE framework, which are the libraries and components to integrate all this system into a coherent whole.
Plasma 5.0 was released in july of 2014, bringing a whole new look called "Breeze", which is still the default these days. Plasma now used openGL for animations and rendering, using the GPU for what's it's good at, and leaving the CPU for compute intensive tasks. The kickoff menu had been redesigned, and plasma now supported Hi DPI displays. Plasma 5 lacked some of plasma 4 features, which returned in subsequent updates.
KDE kept advancing up until today, with plasma version 5.13 being the currently released version. Nowadays, KDE is a very feature full and nice looking desktop environment and application suite, and is still shipped by plenty of distributions, even though its star has waned a little bit since the KDE 3.5 days, where it was basically ubiquitous.

For years, KDE Plasma has been among the most-used desktop environments. This is due to its seemingly endless customization options, flashy looks, and feature-filled updates.
With KDE Plasma 5.23, the desktop environment marks 25 years of work. Hence, this release is also known as Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition.
It’s just wild to imagine that Matthias Ettrich (founder of KDE) reached out to a newsgroup back on October 14, 1996, to get help from fellow programmers for his “Kool Desktop Environment” project.
And, look, where we are now…
In this update, we get to see some significant UI improvements, both within Plasma and third-party apps.
KDE Plasma 5.23: What’s New?
This update brings many improvements, including:
Desktop accent colors
New breeze theme
New power management quick control
More customization options for the app launcher
Hundreds of bugfixes
Here, we will be looking at all these new improvements.
:: More ::
KDE Plasma 5.23 is officially out this morning as the newest major open-source desktop release and is known now as the KDE 25th Anniversary Edition.
The KDE community is celebrating the 25th birthday of what started as the "Kool Desktop Environment" and they now have this new Plasma release that is in very good shape to mark the occasion. KDE Plasma 5.23 / 25th Anniversary Edition is very exciting with countless improvements, much better Wayland support that is good enough for day-to-day use for most individuals, and a number of other noticeable refinements throughout.
Some of the highlights for today's KDE Plasma stable update include:
- Much improved Wayland support, including better touchpad gestures handling, drag-and-drop between native Wayland and XWayland applications, cursor animation fixes, a new screen rotation animation, and much more.
- Multi-screen layouts are now retained across X11 and Wayland sessions.
- Improvements to the Breeze theme.
- A "gigantic" overhaul to the Kickoff application launcher, which takes care of many bugs and makes other improvements.
- A wide variety of improvements to KDE Plasma's System Settings.
- KDE Discover loads much faster.
:: More ::
As for the network widget, Plasma now shows more details about the currently-connected network, including the speed. In addition, the audio volume applets now will differentiate between apps that are playing audio and apps that are recording audio.
In terms of the system settings there also have been a lot of smaller improvements. The most important change is in the search feature of the settings. Previously you could only search for the name of the categories and some elements like the tab names or the entries in the desktop effects lists. KDE Plasma 5.23 adds a lot of keywords to make that search more useful.
How to Get KDE Plasma 5.23
The easiest way to try it out is via KDE Neon Linux distro. Just navigate to the download page and get the User Edition ISO file. You can try on a virtual machine or install it as a fresh system.

K desktop environment (KDE) is a desktop working platform with a graphical user interface (GUI) released in the form of an open-source package. When KDE was first released, it acquired the name Kool desktop environment, which was then abbreviated as K desktop environment. The KDE GUI is equipped with everything users typically need, including a file manager, window manager, help tool and system configuration tool.
The KDE project is still ongoing. Developers discuss their collaborative plans online through an official KDE mailing list, many newsgroups and Internet relay chat.
The KDE project was first launched by Matthias Ettrich in 1996. Ettrich intended to offer a more convenient Unix-based desktop environment for novice computer users. Ettrich chose to use a GUI, which is more understandable and simple for Windows OS users. K D E is currently used with Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Open B S D and Linux P P C.
K Office is considered a very popular suite among KDE applications. It includes a word processor and spreadsheet, image editing, vector drawing, and presentation applications. KOffice was first released in October 2000 as part of the KDE version 2.0 package.
