social media for comments from people whose lives you have helped make better. What follows are but a few of the most recent comments.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

streak.<br>
<br>
If you focus on the mere looks, many beautiful things go unnoticed. The KDE interface is already excellent by default. Calling it a lousy copy of Windows, you should dive deeper than just the boot menu. If you still think that the KDE interface is just a copy
of Windows, you might want to consider an eye test.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

but I can't use anything else now. Good job @kde, you've made a desktop which is a pleasure to use.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
