I've heard Ocean mentioned before. Is it to replace Breeze?

    It's clearly stated in the article.

    KDE plans to tackle that through two already ongoing projects: Ocean and Union. Ocean is the new design system, while Union is intended to provide a unified theming engine across applications, Plasma, window decorations, and Plasma Login Manager.

    I read it. It does not say if Ocean will be the successor to Breeze.

    I don't think they are the same category of thing. Ocean is a design system. Breeze is a theme.

    Edit: now I'm less sure. This seemed to say it is both a style and a "design system" which I took to mean a technical mechanism for styles, but now i'm less clear what they mean.

    "Design system" is a way for designers to organize what they are doing with emphasis on structure and central definition of different components, colors, etc. This allows designers to create UI mockups more easily and programmers to implement the designs without guessing.

    My guess is that that the new theme will be designed using this new system and then implemented using Union.

    Could someone tl;dr what "picking enterprise as a goal" means for KDE?

    Doing stuff that makes it easier to deploy and maintain KDE/Linux for enterprises and other large organisations, like government institutions, where an IT department does centralised management of the computer (updates, access policy, restrictions, printer configurations etc etc)

    Specifically, stuff like enforcing locking the session after inactivity. Lots of compliance requirements include items like that.

    Thanks.

    That's much more pedestrian than the wild ideas zipping through my mind when I saw the term.

    Of course I can totally get behind this.

    My KDE experience has been nothing but nice so far, like the whole project is nice.
