KDE's Products
summary
Argues KDE should treat software as products using the four Ps — marketing mix — and gives concrete examples: Kig, Plasma, KDE Connect (Android vs Linux update mismatch), KDE Slimbook, Neon, Flatpak/Snap, Discover and app stores. Notes hundreds of millions of deployed users in a Brazilian education rollout but almost no usable feedback because of language and support barriers. Praises Krita ownership for taking end-to-end delivery responsibility and shows Neon actually yields more Neon feedback for discover testing. Recommends surveys, packaging focus, and team-owned delivery.
