KDE Shifts to Wayland, New Project Offers X11 Version
When KDE announced that Plasma 6.8 would be dropping the X11 session entirely , not everyone was happy about it. Wayland has been the default on most major distributions for a while now, but there's still a significant chunk of users with reasons to stay on X11. One such case is of a group of developers who took the code that KDE itself is walking away from and started building an X11-first desktop around it. That project is SonicDE . Their goal is to maintain and actively de
KDE's decision to remove X11 support from Plasma 6.8 caused some user dissatisfaction. While Wayland is widely used, some users still prefer X11. A group of developers created SonicDE, a project focused on maintaining and enhancing X11 support in KDE. The project began with a KWin/X11 patchset and evolved into a full X11-based desktop environment. SonicDE includes multiple forks of KDE components, each optimized for X11. The project consists of 40 GitHub repositories, with key components like sonic-win, sonic-workspace, and sonic-desktop-interface. Additional tools like sonic-network-manager and sonic-login-manager are also part of the project. SonicDE provides a consistent look with a custom theme and login screen. It offers an X11 desktop experience that meets the expectations of long-time KDE users while incorporating upstream improvements.
This project ensures continued support for X11 users who prefer its stability and compatibility over Wayland.
