Description

A big focus for KDE in Plasma 6 has been making our Wayland session usable for artists. It has been ready for general computing for some time, but these users have special requirements that require extra care - from drawing tablets to remotes to color management. The KDE community also happens to maintain popular software like Kdenlive and Krita - so we also need to help our own developers as they switch to the Wayland stack!

Let's explore the artist-oriented features we have in KDE Plasma Wayland today, what's on the horizon!

Description

One of our current KDE Goals is a focus on input devices, which naturally includes the hardware artists depend on to do their job.

Biography

Artist, KDE Input Goal champion, worked on better drawing tablet support for KDE under a NLnet grant, and current "maintainer" of the Drawing Tablet settings in KDE Plasma.
