The world of KDE has expanded far beyond the "official base" set. It now includes office, creativity, communication and many other free and commercial applications. A goal of this screen shot series is to show how closely one can attune KDE by adding only a few of the many of add-on software and customizations available for KDE.
This collection is trying to tell a story of KDE from a user's point of view. Hence, the featured desktop was expanded to include some freely available, KDE-based applications that do not come with "official base" KDE set. Visit KDE Family page to find other exciting KDE applications and places.
