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.",
