Abaphuhlisi beprojekthi ye KDE kudala belahla umncedisi wabo welizwi uSimon, kodwa kubonakala ngathi le 2017 sizakuyifumana iphinde isebenze kwiPlasma yethu kwakhona.
Njengoko uMario Fux ebhengezile, ukusukela ngoJanuwari walo nyaka isebenza ekuhlaziyeni nasekuhlengahlengiseni uSimon kwiilayibrari ezintsha zePlasma kunye nezinto, ukukwazi ukuba yinyani ekupheleni kwalo nyaka okanye ubuncinci oya kuzanywa ukuba ube yiyo.
USimon yiprojekthi ejonge ukuzisa umncedisi welizwi kwi KDE, emva koko KDE 3, ikhulula umsebenzisi ekuthembeleni kwikhibhodi okanye kwimouse. Le projekthi yashiywa kwaye uhlaziyo lwamva lwe desktop aluzange luthathele ingqalelo uSimon. Kodwa ngoku kubonakala ngathi abancedisi belizwi bayifashoni, uSimon uza kubuyela kwihlabathi lePC.
USimon uzokhuphisana noSiri noCortana ukuze babe lelona lizwi lililo elincedisayo kwidesktop
Okomzuzwana U-Mario Fux uhlaziya inkqubo kwi-QT4 kunye neelayibrari ze-kdelibs4. Oku kukudala kodwa ukuhlaziywa kumathala eencwadi akutshanje ngumsebenzi omninzi xa kuthelekiswa nomsebenzi wokwenza ngokuthe ngcembe. Nje ukuba ingxelo yokugqibela ifikelele kumathala eencwadi e-QT4, uSimon uya kuphuculwa abe yi-QT5 kwaye angabandakanywa kwiinguqulelo zePlasma, kunye neelayibrari zeQt5 kunye ne-KDE Frameworks.
Inkqubo kaSimon kunye nePlasma iya kukhuphisana nezinye iinkqubo zokusebenza ezinje ngeCortana kunye neWindows okanye iMacOS kunye neSiri, kodwa ngokungafaniyo nale yokugqibela, IPlasma kunye noSimon baya kuba ngabameli behlabathi leGnu.
Okwangoku sinokulinda kuphela okanye xa sifuna ukunceda, fumana ekunxibelelaneni noMario Fux kwaye uvavanye iinguqulelo ezahlukeneyo zophuhliso eziza kukhutshwa. Ngayiphi na imeko, kubonakala ngathi ngaphezulu komntu omnye baya kugqiba ukudlala umdlalo we "USimon uthi…"
Kuyimfuneko kakhulu ukuba i-GNU / Linux ngokubanzi ibene-cortana yohlobo lomncedisi welizwi kunye nethemba eliyimfihlo lokuba uSimon uya kuguquka
