Just donated to KDE and adopted Okular, their really nice PDF reader, which I use on a daily basis <3
Thanks for working on a good FOSS desktop experience, I hope this helps :D

What does it mean to “adopt” Okular? Never heard of this before. Also, thank you for supporting our favorite DE.
@penquin :3
“Adopting” is the term they’re using for supporting a specific app in their latest fundraiser. If you donate over a certain amount, you can chose an app and sort of “sponsor” it more directly, instead of being a more generic KDE donation. As far as I understand, though, they only allow 5 adopters per app (KDE Connect was rightfully filled up almost instantly lol). Check their page: https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/
You can “adopt” one of several KDE apps if you donate 50 usd/eur or more. Your name will be listed on the app’s webpage until April 2025. Other than that it’s just a donation with a fancy name.
Thank you
