            Bug ID: 452367
           Summary: Determining the KDE version is too difficult and keeps
                    changing over time
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: bkorb at gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
There is a general splash page that can be gotten to via "K Menu -> ..."
Sadly, I have a bug wherein "K Menu" is not working. Googling around
gets you to all sorts of out-of-date-yet-produces-a-number results.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Google "KDE Version"

OBSERVED RESULT
$ for cmd in kdeinit5 plasmashell kf5-config kate
> do printf "\n=== %s ===\n" $cmd ; $cmd --version ; done

=== kdeinit5 ===
Qt: 5.12.7
KDE: 5.76.0

=== plasmashell ===
plasmashell 5.18.6

=== kf5-config ===
Qt: 5.12.7
KDE Frameworks: 5.76.0
kf5-config: 1.0

=== kate ===
kate 20.04.2

EXPECTED RESULT
I'd know what version I'd be reporting against.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System) --- *IF* K-Menu worked
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.12.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Recommended solution:
The "Help" menus generally have an "About KDE" entry. That is the very first
place I looked. Nope. It's why I resorted to Google and found all the
conflicting pieces of advice.
