Isn't it weird when KDE is the DE chosen to be part of the installer ?

When I first gave KDE Plasma a try, I mainly did so because I thought it looked great. And it does look great!

But when you start poking around the desktop environment's innards, you start noticing that it's not just a pretty face. It actually has some really killer apps included that have actually stopped me from going back to Windows. And discovering those apps is a ton of fun.
