Look! No ads!

Take back control. Choose Plasma.

Ironically, this looks like an ad for Plasma.

I've caught some KDE Plasma ads somewhere. I think it was either in Boost for Lemmy or maybe on unfettered desktop reddit.

Honestly good for them. I'm totally fine with OSS projects tossing a few punches via marketing when the news cycle allows.

We have made ads... ironically. With tongues stuck firmly in cheeks, we tried to imagine how one would go about making ads for things as unmarketable as Konsole, Elisa, Okular, some minor Plasma features, etc.

We definitely posted this with promotional purposes 😬 . Word-of-mouth is great, but it sometimes needs a shove to reach new people. We hope you folks don't mind.

Well, check the OP. This IS an ad.
