I agree that this discrepancy is weird, but I am fully convinced that Plasma<br>
_should_ ship with basic applications. GNOME does that. XFCE does that.<br>
LXDE/LXQt do that. Could it be that Plasma is the only major desktop<br>
environment that doesn't ship basic applications with it?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, probably.

I'm okay with putting KTp in Applications for the time being, but the goal<br>
should be to either bundle existing applications with Plasma or create new<br>
ones for it (I'm thinking of the likes of Jungle and Koko and Bangarang, and<br>
hopefully a simpler but more visually pleasing QML file browser at some<br>
