You donate €50 or more and you can choose an app you would like to express your support for from the list. Your name then appears on the app’s apps.kde.org page as a supporter until the next relase of KDE Gear (25.04).

Use KDE Connect:
On your phone, go into wher you keep your files (say, your photo gallery). Select the ones you want to transfer (1). Tap the share button (2), and the devices paired with your phone will show up (3). Tap the computer you want to send your files to and they will show up in the “Downloads” directory of that machine a few seconds later (depending on their size, of course).
It works both ways, also from laptop to phone, and even between phones and computers.

Long press the spacebar on the keyboard on your phone and chose the KDE Connect keyboard (see first picture).
Then click on the KDE Connect plasmoid on your desktop, click in the text box (see second picture) and start typing.
You can also use your phone and KDE Connect as a mouse and keyboard for your desktop.
Some more KDE Connect goodness: during your presentations, use KDE Connect to move through your slides.
Or put your finger on the “Pointer”, point your phone at the screen and a flaming circular pointer will appear. Higlight what you need by moving your phone.
