"HOWTO help a KDE Goal" part 1: "We care about your Input"

"We care about your Input" plans to increase the number of supported input devices for Plasma and KDE apps. The aim is to offer the possibility to use assistive devices, gaming controllers of all kinds, and devices for specialised tasks.

You can help by funding developers with their research,

and by joining the team, giving feedback, and assisting with the development.

ISO Image Writer, Partition Manager, SkanPage and System Monitor added to the list of adoptable apps.

If using the command line to burn disk images makes you nervous, ISO Image Writer is your friend!

Likewise, creating and modifying partitions can be scary, so why not use KDE's friendly Partition Manager?
