Additional online account types? (lemmy.ca)

Hi there - I'm currently using Gnome and wanted to try out plasma (been many years since using kde). Gnome has a certain 'way' you must go along with, and I wanted flexibility.

I was struck by the limited number of supported online account types (especially Microsoft 365) that are supported by gnome but not kde. Is this something that is likely to improve going forward?

What distro are you on? Some don't install all available KIO workers and you'll have to install them yourself.

Is this something that is likely to improve going forward?

Like any FLOSS project, things tend to happen when programmers decide to solve a problem for themselves. If you don't the the skills to do this, you could always bring it up on the KDE forum under the "brainstorming" category, submit a feature request on the KDE bug tracker, or sponsor a developer to perform the work.

I'm on Fedora. Gradually trying to get switched over from windows (though too many showstoppers currently to switch to Linux for my main workstation). Using it on an old laptop, and quite like it even though integration with many of the accounts/services I need has been rough. Gnome has come a VERY long way here, though it's easiest if you accept the gnome 'way'.

Is there a list of 'KO workers'? I didn't see what I needed mentioned on the KDE site, but I'm sure I probably missed something.

I would try searching "kio" in your package manager.

Thanks - I will do so! That would not have occurred to me.

What do the accounts do? I'm not sure what they are...
