什么是 KDE
于是，装好 Linux，头一次选用 KDE 工作空间。或许您是重回 KDE 怀抱，或许您正要使用 KDE 工作空间和应用程序，但想知道多一点。那么，从电脑里凝视你的靓物究竟是什么呢？
国际性的社区
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.
崭新炫动的工作空间
KDE 是桌面环境出身，但随着活动发展，KDE 现在是创造自由开源软件的国际化团队。
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.
KDE 软件有其他几个特点，让之成为顶级的工作环境，比如：
- 漂亮现代的桌面
- 灵活可配置的系统，不用过多编辑文本文件就能定制应用程序
- 网路通透性，让你轻松访问其他网络和电脑的文件，仿佛那些文件是在自己的电脑上一样
- 软件生态系统，囊括成百上千应用程序
- 支持逾60种语言
自由软件
KDE 软件不只是软件，它还是自由软件。重要的是，用户不用深入考虑技术或法律问题。为什么？因为作为自由软件，不管在什么地方、用什么方式，你都可以自由使用 KDE，没有激活码、没有安装限制。你还可以自由分享！所以，不但你拥有这样强大的软件，你的家人朋友也有机会享用。
组成部分
KDE 是由软件开发人员组成的庞大社区。所有人的共同点是，我们在花费数年开发出的 KDE 平台的基础上进行开发。
更多信息可以在 KDE Techbase 找到。
Getting KDE
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.
