So, you have installed Linux and have chosen a KDE workspace for the first time. Or maybe you're returning to KDE software after a long odyssey somewhere else. Or maybe you're planning to use a KDE workspace and applications but want to find out more about them first. What '''is''' this shiny thing that's staring at you from your computer?

What this means in practice is that the many programs from the KDE community work together to give you the best possible computing experience. Does that mean you can't use a KDE application if you don't use the KDE desktop? Not at all. With the help of one or two extra libraries the applications can be used on almost any desktop. What's more, some of that software no longer runs only on Linux - some of the new tiny devices, smartphones and internet tablets, have KDE applications!

There are a variety of programs to suit any user's needs, from simple yet powerful text editors, to rocking audio and video players, to the most sophisticated integrated development environment. Plus, KDE applications follow a consistent look and feel across the desktop, giving you a comfortable and familiar experience when using any KDE program. Every six months a new, updated version of a huge number of applications is released - and that's known as the '''Software Compilation (SC)'''.  Some other applications don't update at the same time, but release new versions independently.

KDE software has several other features that makes it a top-class working environment, such as:

:* A flexible and configurable system, letting you customize applications without too much editing of text files
Een flexibel en configureerbaar systeem, waarbij u toepassingen kunt aanpassen zonder al te veel tekstbestanden te hoeven bewerken
:* Network transparency allows you to easily access files on other networks and computers as if they were on your own computer
Door de netwerktransparantie krijgt u eenvoudig toegang tot bestanden op andere netwerken en computers, alsof ze zich op uw eigen computer bevinden
:* A software ecosystem of hundreds, even thousands, of programs
Een software-ecosysteem van honderden, zelfs duizenden programma's
:* Availability in over 60 languages
Beschikbaar in meer dan 60 talen


==Free Software==
== Tons of Free Software ==


KDE software isn't just any software. It is '''Free Software'''. As a user, this is an important fact, even without getting deep into technical or legal considerations. Why? Because as free software, you are free to use KDE wherever you want and in whatever manner you want, no activation keys and no installation limits. And you're free to share it with others as well! So not only do you have in your hands great and powerful software, but you can also give your family and friends the opportunity to enjoy it, too.
KDE-software is niet zomaar software. Het is vrije software. Voor u als gebruiker is dit heel belangrijk. Waarom? Omdat vrije software betekent dat u vrij bent KDE te gebruiken waar u wilt en zoals u wilt, zonder activatiesleutels en zonder installatiebeperkingen. En u mag het ook nog delen met anderen! U hebt dus niet alleen geweldige en krachtige software, u kunt ook nog familie en vrienden ervan laten genieten!

Greetings stranger! Welcome to the wonderful world of KDE. KDE is a worldwide project dedicated to bring the best software to you - for free. Read on and find out what we can offer you and what you can do for us.

An International Community

KDE is more than just software. It is a community made up of programmers, translators, contributors, artists, writers, distributors, and users from all over the world. Our international team is committed to creating the best free software for the desktop and mobile. And not only contributors, but users and fans of KDE software can be found throughout the entire globe, giving help to other users, spreading the news, or just simply enjoying the experience.

Een nieuwe, prachtige werkomgeving

KDE started life as a desktop environment over 20 years ago. As activities have grown, KDE is now an international team that creates Free and Open Source Software.

What this means in practice is that the many programs from the KDE community work together to give you the best possible computing experience. Does that mean you can't use a KDE application if you don't use the KDE desktop? Not at all. With the help of one or two extra libraries the applications can be used on almost any Linux desktop. What's more, increasingly that software runs on a variety of other platforms. You can now find many KDE applications running under Windows and Mac OS or other devices such as smartphones and tablets.

There are a variety of programs to suit any user's needs, from simple yet powerful text editors, to rocking audio and video players, to the most sophisticated integrated development environment. Plus, KDE applications follow a consistent look and feel across the desktop, giving you a comfortable and familiar experience when using any KDE program.

KDE-software heeft nog een aantal kenmerken waardoor het tot de beste werkomgevingen hoort, zoals:

Een prachtig, modern bureaublad Een flexibel en configureerbaar systeem, waarbij u toepassingen kunt aanpassen zonder al te veel tekstbestanden te hoeven bewerken Door de netwerktransparantie krijgt u eenvoudig toegang tot bestanden op andere netwerken en computers, alsof ze zich op uw eigen computer bevinden Een software-ecosysteem van honderden, zelfs duizenden programma's Beschikbaar in meer dan 60 talen

Tons of Free Software

KDE-software is niet zomaar software. Het is vrije software. Voor u als gebruiker is dit heel belangrijk. Waarom? Omdat vrije software betekent dat u vrij bent KDE te gebruiken waar u wilt en zoals u wilt, zonder activatiesleutels en zonder installatiebeperkingen. En u mag het ook nog delen met anderen! U hebt dus niet alleen geweldige en krachtige software, u kunt ook nog familie en vrienden ervan laten genieten!

Getting KDE Software

If you are using Windows or Mac OS, a growing number of KDE apps such as Krita or Kdenlive are available for you to download and install. You'll find installers on their pages.

As of right now, some KDE software is for various reasons only on Linux, a free operating system that you can try right now. The community produces KDE neon, a downloadable Ubuntu Linux-based operating system which includes the newest version of KDE.

Helping KDE

KDE can only exist because thousands of dedicated contributors from around the world have given their time. You can help too! There is a task for everybody, and we are looking forward to see how you are going to make KDE better.
