Nate Graham: KDE 2021 roadmap mid-year update
Power/session actions in the lock screen: AT RISK
No new work done. May not happen this year.
Production-ready Plasma Wayland session: ON TRACK
In part due to it being an official KDE goal, a truly enormous, herculean amount of work has gone into making the Plasma Wayland session usable, to the point where the Fedora KDE spin has decided to enable it by default in Fedora 34, which ships Plasma 5.21. This is quite a vote of confidence! I fully expect that by Plasma 5.23, it will be broadly usable for day-to-day use. I find that it’s almost there for me.
Fingerprint support throughout the stack: AT RISK
No new work done. May not happen this year. We are kind of blocked by the necessary SDDM pieces not being done yet. Assistance needed.
Finish up Breeze Evolution: ON TRACK
Work is proceeding and the new widget style will land in Plasma 5.23. After that, most of the remaining work requires changes to apps themselves, particularly to make them less framey. Adopting KHamburgerMenu in more of our apps will help too, and it’s already been done for Dolphin and Gwenview, with more on the way.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
