[$] Plasma X11 session removal surprises some Fedora users

Date:
Wed, 04 Nov 2026 16:33:11 +0000

Description:
The KDE Project announced, in2025, that Plasma6.7 would
be the last version of the desktop environment that would support X11
sessions. Those who keep up with KDE's announcements no doubt expected it
when Plasma6.8 dropped X11 support as promised. What seems to have come as a surprise, at
least to a number of Fedora KDE Plasma
Desktop users, is that the Fedora44 releasewhich shipped in
April with Plasma6.6 received
an update to Plasma6.8 that swept away the X11 session without much warning. Despite the surprise, it is gone for good: the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) has voted
against a request to revert the update for Fedora 44 and the just-released Fedora 45.
