The KDE Plasma Desktop

These pages talk about the basic KDE Plasma desktop. These applications are common programs usually found in base KDE Plasma 4 or 5 installations. They provide core desktop environment functionality. These KDE base programs allow users to operate, manage and control their desktop and programs easily and flexibly.

	Learn about the basics of the default settings, how to configure the panels and desktop to fit your preferences and how to add new features with downloadable content.
KWin
	Discover KWin, KDE's reliable and flexible window manager with hardware accelerated effects for added beauty and usability.
KRunner
	The traditional "Run Command" window has become a "power launcher" with not only command launching but also desktop search, a calculator and even online Wiki look ups. Find out how to use this new interface, called "KRunner", to streamline your workflow.
System Settings

The Applications

Dolphin
	Discover Dolphin: the default, easy-to-use file manager in the KDE Plasma Desktop.
Konqueror
