A lot has happened in the KDE
Plasma desktop environment in the last year. Marco Martin, a KDE contributor
who spends most of his time working on Plasma, took the stage at Akademy 2026 in Graz, Austria to give
an update on Plasma’s major new features, some of the minor-but-interesting
ones, and a preview of what’s coming soon. The biggest upcoming change, dropping
X11 support from Plasma, has been well-advertised; but there are also plans
afoot to further improve remote-desktop support and more.
