Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?

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

Interestingly related: when KDE devs complained to Microsoft that, due to the fact that name of their new product and similarity in functionality to KDE's own Maui project

https://mauikit.org/

they were causing confusion and potentially violating KDE's trademark, in the Microsoft forums KDE was told to sue them or f**k off.

KDE does not have much money, much less enough to embark in a costly legal battle with Microsoft with a doubtful outcome.

They also copied the slogan for KDE Plasma 5 ("Simple by default, powerful when needed") and used a thinly veiled variation to promote Windows 11.

They were also notified and they again ignored the notification.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
