After all these years I still don’t know what the difference between KDE and Plasma is.

“KDE” is a community of volunteers that makes and distributes Free Software.

“KDE Software” is all the apps, frameworks and libraries the KDE community produces. The KDE Software includes something called “Plasma”.

Plasma is a desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems (e.g. Linux and BSDs) developed by the KDE community.

Hope that helps.

As far as I understand, Plasma is the Desktop Environment and KDE is the organisation who develop and maintain it.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
