Fedora considering Plasma for default Workstation desktop |
 |
The Fedora project is currently considering a change for future versions of the distribution which would switch the default Workstation edition's desktop from GNOME to KDE Plasma. GNOME has always been the primary desktop for the Fedora distribution, but the change proposal outlines several areas where KDE's Plasma desktop would offer a better experience. Some of the features the propsoal highlights are Plasma's system tray, Wayland support, and a reduced learning curve for new Linux users: "Plasma provides a more traditional user experience that could be viewed as being more approachable to everyday computing users, serving as a smoother "on-ramp" to using Linux-based operating systems. Alongside its wide breadth of personalization capabilities, it provides an out-of-the-box desktop experience that is more predictable than some of its counterparts. As an example, Plasma provides a system tray for applications supporting StatusNotifierItem (e.g. Flameshot, OBS Studio, VPN clients), which is not functionality supported by default in GNOME Shell and requires an extension which may break between releases." The proposal is being discussed and whether it will be adopted has not been confirmed. |
