于是,你头一次安装好了Linux并选择了KDE工作空间。或许可能你是在其他地方长期漂泊后重返KDE软件。或许可能你正计划使用KDE工作区和应用程序但是想先知道更多关于他的信息。那这个从你电脑里凝视你的耀眼东西 什么哪?

一个国际社区

KDE已经不单单是个软件. 它是一个由全世界的编程人员,翻译人员,贡献人员,艺术家,作者,经销商和使用者所组成的社区。我们的国际化技术团队致力于创造最好的桌面自由软件。同时不但是贡献人员,KDE软件的使用者和fans们同样遍布全球,他们帮助其他使用者,传播新闻消息,或仅仅只是享受体验。

一个崭新,耀眼的工作空间

KDE, 最初是作为一款桌面环境面世。但随着活动发展,KDE 现在是 一个开发自由和开源软件的国际化团队

实际上那意味着许多来自KDE社区的程序协同工作给你最棒的电脑体验。那是否意味者如果你没有KDE桌面就没法使用KDE程序了哪?完全不是这样。只要有一个或二个额外的函数库(libraries)的帮助,程序几乎能在任何桌面上使用。而且,其中有些程序不仅能在Linux上运行 - 某些新的微型设备,智能手机和平板网络浏览器(internet tablets),也一样有KDE应用程序!

KDE 提供各种各样的程序满足任何使用者的需求,从简单但强大的文本编辑器,到震撼的音频和视频播放器,到 最尖端的集成开发环境。加上KDE程序遵循整个桌面一致的观感,当你使用任何KDE程序时都给于你舒适和熟悉的体验。每六个月,会发布一个包含大量应用程序的新的升级版本 - 那被称作 软件集(Software Compilation,SC)。但某些其他程序不会同时更新,它们单独发布新版本。

KDE软件有几个其他的特性使得它成为一流的工作环境,比如:

  • 一个漂亮,现代的桌面
  • 一个灵活的,可配置的系统,让你不需要太多文本配置文件就可定制应用程序
  • 网络透明度允许你轻易的访问其他网站和电脑的文件,仿佛那些文件是在你自己的电脑上一样。
  • 一个囊括了成百,甚至上千个程序的软件生态系统
  • 支持逾60种语言

自由软件

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 is a huge community of people who create software. As such, there are many aspects to the KDE Platform. Some of the more fundamental pieces of the platform are:

  • the Plasma workspace - the user interface element, customized for different devices such as PCs, notebooks, or mobile devices
  • elements of the KDE Platform - exposes common functionality to applications
  • KDE Applications - software programs that are written to utilize the platform


There's more!

And it doesn't stop there! The KDE community has lots more to offer!

  • Other Platforms - Some KDE applications are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and portable devices such as Nokia N810.
  • Office and Productivity Suite - KDE is not only fun, it can help you get productive and organized as well.
  • Application Development Framework - Dreaming of writing the next killer app? KDE software and community support can help you with that.
