makes sense to me, funding KDE means better and still FOSS apps🤌✨

as long as the donation prompts are unobtrusive I see no problem with it

Edit:

From 6.2 onwards, Plasma itself will show a system notification asking for a donation once per year, in December

yup totally fair👍

KDE needs to copy what Thunderbird did. Thunderbird marketed the crap out of their product and were present on all social media, posted frequent updates, made videos about their new features, and are in general very loud about it. KDE has some random devs posting infrequent updates and aren't even recogniseable as belonging to the foundation.

I donate, but I can see how many people have no clue they are even using KDE nor how to donate to it.

Imo it should be a dismissable banner in the system info pane in settings.
