KDE turns 30 with Plasma 6.8, but the X11 session isn't invited
Plus, Klassik recreates the KDE 3 desktop experience on Qt 6
KDE Plasma 6.8 is preparing for its release on October 14, marking the 30th anniversary of the KDE project. The new version will feature the revived Oxygen theme, drop the X11 session, and run entirely on Wayland. An optional X11 session will still be available during the transition. A new project called Klassik recreates the look and feel of KDE 3 using modern Plasma technology, offering a nostalgic experience for users who prefer the older desktop.
Other alternative options include the Trinity Desktop Environment, Sonic desktop, MiDesktop, and Katana desktop.
