Subj : Graham: [KDE] Highlights from 2025 To : All From : LWN.net Date : Tue Dec 30 2025 06:40:08 Nate Graham looks back at how 2025 went for the KDE project. Today Plasma is the default desktop environment in a bunch of the hottest new gaming-focused distros, including Bazzite, CachyOS, Garuda, Nobara, and of course SteamOS on Valve's gaming devices. Fedora's Plasma edition was also promoted to co-equal status with the GNOME edition, and Asahi Linux - the single practical option for Linux on newer Macs - only supports KDE Plasma. Parrot Linux recently switched to Plasma by default, too. And Plasma remains the default on old standbys like EndeavourOS, Manjaro, NixOS, OpenMandriva, Slackware and TuxedoOS - which ships on all devices sold by Tuxedo Computers! https://lwn.net/Articles/1052241/ --- SBBSecho 3.34-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
