New Plasma netbook in KDE desktop environment

Article title: the new Plasma netbook is added in the KDE desktop environment. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The Linux desktop environment in the KDE community has always been in parallel with GNOME and is quite popular. recently, the KDE community decided to change the brand name that has been used for up to 13 years, KDE is renamed again to "change from focusing on Linux open-source desktop to a fully open-source community ".

"The application architecture has grown, matured, and implemented cross-platform," said Stuart Jarvis, an official KDE spokesman. "indeed, KDE now provides Windows and Mac versions, although still in the Test stage, Jarvis adds that KDE has grown from a single desktop environment to a general desktop environment, creating a large number of free software to provide services for people everywhere.

KDE has always represented "K Desktop Environment". However, with the expansion of KDE content, this name is vague and may even mislead users. The KDE community will continue to use KDE for short, but it does not refer to the desktop environment. Instead, it represents "KDE, the community" (KDE community), and it will develop free software for end users, it also includes the technology brands created by the KDE community.

In addition, KDE Workspaces will be divided into two different brands: KDE Plasma Desktop and KDE Plasma Netbook. KDE technology used to develop applications is named KDE Platform, the KDE application is still called KDE Applications.

Jarvis pointed out that the recently released KDE 4.3 is still a combination of Workspaces, Platform, and Applications, but the next release will be named KDE Software Compilation 4.4.
