At Akademy 2020, the
annual KDE conference that was held virtually this year, KDE developer Nate
Graham delivered a talk entitled “Visions of the Future” (YouTube video) about the
possible future of KDE on commercial products. Subtitled “Plasma sold on
retail hardware — lots of it”, the session concentrated on ways to
make KDE applications (and the Plasma desktop) the default
environment on hardware
sold to the general public. The proposal includes creating an
official KDE distribution with a hardware certification program and
directly paying developers.
