Conference Talk Wayland

Speaker

Mr Neal Gompa (Fedora Project)

Description

This presentation revisits Fedora KDE to discuss one of its major initiatives: removing the dependency on the classical X11 server.

Over the past few years, the Fedora KDE SIG has been working toward eliminating the usage of the X11 server in the default session setup. With Fedora Linux 38, we now rely on Plasma Wayland from login to shutdown! In this talk, we'll discuss how Fedora is preparing to only offer Plasma Wayland as Plasma 6.0 looms over the horizon, and what that means for users and developers.

Description

This talk will provide attendees a view into Fedora's major initiative to eliminate usage of the X11 server and how the KDE SIG is doing this with Fedora KDE.
