Happy birthday and thank you!

I just came to think that I started using KDE when it was at version 1 Beta 4. (Or was it 3?)

Thank you for making me feel old again. I am a big fan of KDE since Beta 3....
I've gone astray a few times but always came back even after the Nepomuk disaster.... Keep up the great work ❀️

Similar to me. But I came in a bit later with KDE 3.1 on SuSE 9.0 - aaaaall the way back in November 2003. Played with Fluxbox, XFCE, e16, but always came back and still rolling it now. :)

Dear KDE team:

Since the early days of Plasma 5 I won't even consider another DE. Thank you for everything you do, the way you interact with the community of users, and just for being awesome.

Happy birthday! I've been a long time linux user, but really only recently starting using KDE on a regular basis after becoming enamored of Manjaro. It has truly transformed over the years and is an excellent desktop environment.
