14 DAY TRIAL // KDE developer Sebastian Kügler today shared the project's vision on the KDE Plasma desktop environment, and what they are aiming for in the coming months and years.
We all know that KDE Plasma transformed lately into a powerful, modern, and not so resource hungry desktop environment, and it's currently being used by default in many popular GNU/Linux distributions, including OpenSuSE Leap, Chakra GNU/Linux, and KaOS.
And now, KDE Plasma developers are envisioning their product as being durable, usable, and elegant in the long run, planning to make it compatible with a wide-range of devices, from desktops and tablets to mobile phones, as well as to transform it into a flexible tool that users can set up to fit their needs.
"Plasma is a cross-device work environment by the KDE Community where trust is put on the user’s capacity to best define her own workflow and preferences," explains Sebastian Kügler. "Our motivation is to enable actual work to happen, across devices, across different platforms, using any application needed."
KDE Plasma to be a highly configurable desktop environment
In their latest vision statement for the KDE Plasma desktop environment, the KDE Plasma team promises that they will make it as highly configurable as possible by adding every single option one can think of, while keeping it simple by default so that it can be used by new users that never saw a Linux desktop before.
In its default state, KDE Plasma will offer a clean and sober interface that does not overwhelm the user, yet it will come with all the power tool that advanced users need to get the job done. KDE Plasma team envision KDE Plasma as a durable, reliable, usable, and elegant UI for the desktop and mobile.
