    Using the new KDE Store and installing directly from there

    If you haven't found it already, take a look at the new KDE Store

    You can install directly from the website, but first you have to install "xdgurl". Here's the latest version for Ubuntu: xdgurl2.02

    Have a look...

    For those of us not using Kubuntu this might be helpful - the package's control file. You can get dependencies from there

    Code:
    Package: xdgurl
    Version: 2.0.2-0ubuntu1
    Architecture: amd64
    Maintainer: Akira Ohgaki <akiraohgaki@gmail.com>
    Installed-Size: 141
    Depends: libqt5svg5 (>= 5.3.0), qml-module-qtquick2 (>= 5.3.0) | qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin (>= 5.3.0), qml-module-qtquick-window2 (>= 5.3.0) | qtdeclarative5-window-plugin (>= 5.3.0), qml-module-qtquick-controls (>= 5.3.0) | qtdeclarative5-controls-plugin (>= 5.3.0), qml-module-qtquick-dialogs (>= 5.3.0) | qtdeclarative5-dialogs-plugin (>= 5.3.0)

      What's wrong with the repository of your favourite distribution?

      Yet another plasma desktop (KDE) feature copied from Windows or a coincidence?

      It seems that with every new version of Plasma desktop (KDE) is looking more and more like a Windows clone.
      systemd is not for me. I am a retro Nintendo gamer. consoles I play on are, SNES; N64; GameCube and WII.

        It doesn't exist in the repository of my favorite distribution.

          Does this site replace kde-apps.org (now linux-apps.com) or augment it?
          Windows no longer obstructs my view.

              Many faces of the opendesktop org



              Third party - Opendesktop.org
              (earlier - https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=225&t=136966)

              Everyone can upload their creations to share.

              History:
              - openDesktop.org. 15 years in review: http://karlitschek.de/2016/01/opende...ars-in-review/
              - openDesktop.org changes: http://karlitschek.de/2016/01/opendesktop-org-changes/

              Under new owner: https://forum.opendesktop.org/t/welc...op-org-forum/8

              As most of you might have noticed, we are in the middle of transitioning opendesktop.org stores to new servers and also a new backend. All product, user and comment informations should be preserved. All login accounts are kept. If you experience any issues to login to the new servers, please post here or send us an email, we're watching out for your feedback and listening. Note that if from time to time some categories or products may not showing up temporarily, don't panic, as everything is being saved and evaluated to be made available again. One of the biggest transitions will be kde-look.org, which will take the most time, since OD resources are tightly integrated into Plasma's GHNS service. The whole transition could take up to another 12-15 weeks. One of the first features of our new backend is a new mutiple files upload service, which should eleminate the need for posting links to 3rd party storages...
              KDE Software Store

              https://dot.kde.org/2016/09/03/kde-software-store
              In January 2016, Blue Systems acquired hive01 from Frank Karlitschek and restarted work on openDesktop. Since then, content has been cleaned up, the server backend has been replaced by a more modern and scalable solution,...
