- Big Tech's mishandling of personal data poses national security risks, leading to a shift away from closed, spyware-prone software.
- KDE offers free and open-source software for digital sovereignty, with products like operating systems and desktop environments that are publicly auditable and modifiable.
- As a non-profit, KDE has no profits or shareholders, charges no fees, does not spy on users, and does not misuse data for AI training.
- Investment from the Sovereign Tech Fund will enhance KDE's software to improve privacy, security, and digital control for users.
- KDE's desktop technology is vital for accessing digital services, handling personal data, and is used by millions on Linux, with goals to strengthen testing and security.
