Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

    @01adrianrdgz @Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social right when Microsoft said “Microsoft ❤️ Linux”, they also announced something big: .NET MAUI. .NET is Microsoft’s standard library and runtime when coding C#. It had become cross-platform already, so you can now compile for Linux. Only thing missing was a good UI framework. MAUI was invented to address this. You know what happened? MAUI supports Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. Not Linux.

    Microsoft doesn’t love Linux, Microsoft loves using Linux for Azure.

      Interestingly related: when KDE devs complained to Microsoft that, due to the fact that name of their new product and similarity in functionality to KDE’s own Maui project

      https://mauikit.org/

      they were causing confusion and potentially violating KDE’s trademark, in the Microsoft forums KDE was told to sue them or f**k off.

      KDE does not have much money, much less enough to embark in a costly legal battle with Microsoft with a doubtful outcome.

        They also copied the slogan for KDE Plasma 5 (“Simple by default, powerful when needed”) and used a thinly veiled variation to promote Windows 11.

        They were also notified and they again ignored the notification.
