This is a bit of a moonshot but I think it’s possible. The Wayland session can completely replace the X11 session But there will be a much heavier focus in 2022! Inertial touchpad scrolling in QtQuick softwareĪ big improvement went in recently that will make this possible to do soon! It seems quite likely that we’ll finally have this sometime in 2022. We plan to focus quite a bit on resolving multimonitor issues this year, and some of that effort has already borne a bit of fruit so far. Multi-monitor stuff finally works properly

This work will soon start landing piece by piece, and you can read more about it on Ken’s blog. Initial work for Places icons has already been submitted and is being reviewed. All of them are expected to become more responsive to your system color scheme, and look better when doing so. Monochrome icons will eventually get attention too. KDE designer Ken Vermette is working on improving and modernizing Breeze icons! Colorful icons will be softened and rounded a bit, and visually updated to remove old ugly elements like the long shadows. This is in progress and I expect it to be completed sometime in the first half of 2022. Not for long! Han Young is working on merging them together into one new page that handles both, making it clear what applies when and making it harder or impossible to mess up your system by choosing incompatible settings. The Languages and Formats pages in System Settings have long been problematic because their scopes overlapped. As always, this is not an official planning document or a promise it’s just me giving you a sneak peak of some things that are in progress or about to start, and that I think will be feasible to complete before the year’s end! Merged “Formats and Languages” KCM So here’s what I think we can expect in 2022. Another year, another roadmap! Last year’s was a smashing success, as we delivered on everything.
