The KDE community has charted its course for the coming years, focusing on three interconnected paths that converge on a single point: community. These paths aim to improve user experience, support developers, and foster community growth.

      Let me be more concrete then. What I am used to is the following:

      • Open the relevant Jetbrains IDE
      • Click on new project

      • I can click “Play” to start the app
      • I can click “Debug” to debug the app

      Every step is a button click or a entry field in a dialog. These steps also work on every major distro. And I wish for a similar experience when developing KDE Plasma.

      For completeness, I will try to get the same results and list the steps for KDE Plasma development later (in about 8h)

        IDEs have come a long way. But I’ve done qt development using Jetbrains Clion IDE and QTCreator. I don’t remember it being that difficult. Then again, I started programming using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. So …
