The German Sovereign Tech Fund has invested 1.2 million euros ($1.4 million USD) in KDE Plasma technologies to help strengthen the structural reliability and security of the desktop environment`s core infrastructure, including Plasma, KDE Linux, and the frameworks underlying its communication services.

Strengthening KDE`s testing infrastructure, security architecture, and communication frameworks is how we invest in the resilience and reliability of the core
