@[email protected] @[email protected] "Plasma doesn't crash, so our cars" would be a good slogan

KDE is based in Germany, just like Mercedes and BMW. GNOME is based in the US, so they should instead get sponsored by General Motors or Ford to keep the rivalry going.

KDE has an office in Germany for administrative purposes, but its base is worldwide. As a non-profit charity, we have rivalries with no-one.

@carlschwan @[email protected] @[email protected] this was meant to be a little rivalry joke (Merc/BMW) vs (Gnome/KDE).
Good to know though! 😀
