KDE has a well articulated vision about how open source personal computing should look like. E.g., I like their growing collection of android apps [0] (KDE Connect in particular). Hopefully they can attract more resources to speed up executing on that vision.

- chungy 4y agoKDE Connect is indeed amazing, definitely a "killer feature" (albeit one not exclusive to the KDE desktop -- I run GNOME and still integrate with my phone via KDE Connect). It makes so much sense, I don't know why Google or anyone else hasn't attempted anything like it too.
