The KDE community ships over a hundred applications for almost every need and interest. There are applications for viewing and editing images as well as organizing your photo collection. There are programs for playing videos and managing your music collection. There are also educational programs for students and teachers, as well as games to entertain you for hours. KDE's software compilation even comes with its own office and productivity suites!
