Apa itu KDE

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.

Ruang Kerja Baru, Berkilauan

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.

Perangkat lunak KDE memiliki beberapa fitur lain yang menjadikannya sebagai lingkungan kerja komputer kelas wahid.

• Desktop yang modern dan indah.
• Sistem yang fleksibel dan mudah dikonfigurasi sehingga Anda dapat menyesuaikan aplikasi tanpa terlalu banyak menyunting berkas teks.
• Transparasi jaringan sehingga memungkinkan Anda mengakses berkas yang terdapat di komputer dan jaringan lain, seolah-olah berkas tersebut berada di komputer Anda sendiri.
• Ekosistem perangkat lunak yang terdiri dari ratusan atau bahkan ribuan program.
• Tersedia lebih dari 60 bahasa.

Tons of Free Software

Perangkat lunak KDE bukan sekadar perangkat lunak biasa. KDE adalah Perangkat Lunak Bebas. Sebagai pengguna, hal ini penting artinya meskipun Anda mungkin tidak peduli, baik mengenai masalah teknis maupun pertimbangan hukumnya. Mengapa? Karena sebagai perangkat lunak bebas, Anda bebas menggunakan KDE di mana pun dan dengan cara apa pun yang Anda inginkan, tidak ada pembatasan waktu dan tidak perlu kunci aktivasi. Anda juga bebas untuk berbagi (menyebarkannya) kepada orang lain. Jadi, Anda tidak hanya memiliki dan menggunakan perangkat lunak yang bagus dan bermutu, tetapi pula Anda dapat memberikan kesempatan kepada yang lain, baik teman maupun saudara Anda, untuk menikmatinya juga.

Components

A diagram of the various aspects of the KDE Platform

KDE adalah sebuah komunitas besar yang terdiri dari beberapa orang-orang yang membuat perangkat lunak. Kita semua memiliki kesamaan, yaitu kita membangun perangkat lunak di atas infrastruktur yang telah dikembangkan selama bertahun-tahun: Platform KDE.

• the Plasma workspace - the user interface element, customized for different devices such as PCs, notebooks, or mobile devices
• the KDE Frameworks - most KDE applications are built with the help of a unified framework. Do you also want to write a killer app? The KDE Frameworks can help you with that!
• KDE Applications - software programs that are written to utilize the platform

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.
