Welcome to KDE Gear ⚙️ 22.04!
Skip to What’s New
KDE Gear ⚙️ 22.04 brings you all the updates added to a long list of KDE
apps over the last four months. KDE programs allow you to work, create
and play without having to submit yourself to extortionate licenses and
intrusive advertising, or surrender your privacy to unscrupulous
corporations.
Below you will discover a selection of the changes added in the last
four months to software designed to make your life better. But remember,
there is much, much more: games, social media apps, utilities for
communicating, developing and creating stuff… All these things have been
worked on to give you more stability and boost your productivity.
If you want to see a full list of everything we have done, check out the
complete changelog.
