We’re ready! Come and visit our booth at #FOSDEM2025!
We’re in building AW, level 1, showing off the newest version of Plasma, devices, applications and more.
You two make me want to install free software. Hope you’re having fun!
Nice, shame that events like this are too niche to ever be even vaguely near me. The best I get here is the occasional beer, cider or gin festival.
I’m team KDE! You’re gonna roxk it ladies!
unrelated but why is that window so massive?
Before electricity, people had to make sure as much daylight as possible got into their buildings. Looks like this might be a large room, so large windows make sense.
Wayland fractional scaling issues mean they windows look best when rendered at 200%
Joint venture between KDE and Windows
Aaaa delete this
Sorry, KWindows Recall has already snapahotted it and uploaded it to the cloud to be analysed by KAI, where it will live forever encoded in LLM weights.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Hi from the Haiku booth!
FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. You don’t need to register. Just turn up and join in! FOSDEM takes place at the ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth. If you aren’t there, you may watch the live streams from the main tracks and developer rooms.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Have fun guys! 🥰
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social no Konqui!? 😱
Yes Konqis!
@kde@floss.social
@ivor @kde@lemmy.kde.socialReally need at least one of those Konqi plushies someday…
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social wish I could have went
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is that a touch screen device? Is there working OSK for KDE? Still forced to use GNOME on all Touch Screen devices
There is osk, and it works.
@nesc Yay! With what Plasma Version will it come?
It’s been there for a long time. 🙃 I think some distros come by default with maliit keyboard, you just need to enable it, or install then enable. Personally I am using corekeyboard, it’s the only one with modifier keys (somehow neither gnome nor kde default ones even allow to modifiers).
@nesc I tested both but both are neiher full sized keyboards nor work wit input methods like fcitx or have issues with key combintion and stuff like that.
I tested 12 OSK for both GNOME and Plasma and this here was the only one that was actually able to replace a full size keyboard in all circumstances

Sadly it only works with GNOME :(
Osk situation is terrible in general, true, with wayland migration it became even worse. But for basics default keyboards for gnome and kde work.
KDE devs are working on this. It has become a priority of the “We care about your Input” goal.

We are currently working on implementing a new virtual keyboard called QVK that will built into Plasma:
This is great to hear. Maliit does work, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
@nesc if you speak English and do not use the terminal (who would ever need that on Linux) and do not use Firefox, then it’s fine, yes^^
