Today is KDE's 30th birthday! Happy birthday to my favorite desktop environment.

I remember when I first played with Kubuntu in 2016, having my mind blown at the magic of community driven software development. In terms of design, features and substance, it was miles ahead of Windows. My favorite feature was the virtual desktops, combined with the Cube effect, which would flip desktops by rotating your screen as a cube.

I never looked back.

Seeing it work as well as it did gave me the confidence that open-source development wasnt just an alternative - but actually far better.

When we built Above Book in 2023, choosing KDE as our desktop environment was the obvious choice and has served thousands of our customers well (with a few quirks ;))

I have deep respect in my heart for the KDE team and can't wait to see what comes next.
