Preamble

Plasma is the desktop developed by the KDE community. Version 6 of Plasma is being developed, built and shipped on top of Qt 6.

Further details for Plasma 6 can be found on the Wiki, a current list of open bugs at Bugzilla.

Status

Work for porting Plasma and KDE Frameworks based on Qt 6 is currently the focus of the development. If you're able to help, please have a look at the Phabricator Boards for KDE Frameworks 6 and Plasma 6.

You can keep track of the progress of porting Frameworks, Gear and Plasma to Qt 6. Note: That page is generated automatically from source code data. Please also note that not all projects listed on that page need to have a release based on Qt 6 before the first version of Plasma 6 can be released. The projects not using Qt 6 by the time of the first Plasma 6 release will simply ship the Qt 5 version.

Notes

  • Plasma 6.0 will depend on Qt 6.6 and Frameworks 6.0 (and Gear 6.0 for kexiv)
  • Initially releases will be 3 times a year as with Plasma 5
  • Once distros agree stability has been found we can move to 2 releases a year [1]
  • 6.0 will be a coordinated "mega" release together with KDE Frameworks and KDE Gear [2].
  • No scheduled LTS releases yet but those will come when distros find them useful
