I'm very surprised there aren't more KDE appreciation posts on here. It's such a beautifully round piece of software -- customizable, yet reliable and unassuming.

It's exactly what the desktop experience, and software in general, should be: there for you when you need it, without making the entire experience about itself.

I don't have to actively think about my desktop environment when I'm browsing Hacker News on Firefox, or writing code, or listening to music -- it looks back empathetically when a program goes wrong, or when my workflow changes and it needs tweaking, and everything else.

You've made something brilliant, and it's definitely positively contributed to Linux's increase in market share.

Thanks for making what I use every single day.
