Note that all telemetry is opt-in.

Plasma

  1. Application version: to know if our users are up to date
  2. Compiler information: to know if issues in non-mainstream compilers are relevant
  3. Platform information: to know how popular the Wayland session is compared to X11
  4. Qt version: to know how different versions of Qt and Plasma interrelate
  5. Usage time: to find out how many users are using the software heavily vs in passing
  6. OpenGL version and vendor information: to learn about our users' hardware; can we trust users to have proper 3D acceleration? Which drivers should be testing? Do people prefer open drivers?
  7. Locale information: To find out if people from different locales are struggling to use Plasma. Are we not getting bug reports because they just don't even consider using it?
  8. Screen parameters: to find out how common multi-screen usage is in Plasma
  9. Panel Count (Plasma Shell): to find out how common it is for people to customize their Panels
  10. Application Source Name (Plasma Discover): to find out where users prefer to get their software from

Kate (starting with Release 20.04) & KWrite (starting with Release 22.08)
