K Desktop Environment 3 (KDE 3) is the third series of releases of the K Desktop Environment (after that called KDE Software Compilation). It was one of the two major desktop environments for GNU/Linux systems between 2002 and 2008.[1][2] There are six major releases in this series. After the release of KDE 4, version 3.5 was forked into the Trinity Desktop Environment.
