In addition to today’s blog post calling out the need for others to takeover the This Week In Plasma series, KDE developer Nate Graham also published another blog post to highlight the successes of the Plasma desktop over 2025. In particular, the KDE Plasma Wayland transition “nears completion” as it works to become Wayland-only in early 2027.
Headlining the KDE highlights for 2025 by Nate Graham was the work on the Wayland transition. This year saw Wayland work around HDR / color management, P010 video color support, better drawing tablets, improved accessibility, overlay planes, RandR emulation, screen mirroring, support for custom modes, pre-authorization for portal-based permissions, clipboard and USB portals, and support for a variety of newer Wayland protocols. Wayland’s xdg-toplevel-tag, color-representation, fio, xx_pip, and other protocols were implemented this year
Ah yeah Fedora does not support Nvidia. But third party repos should have a dkms version of the driver you should install instead.
On distros that do support Nvidia, the Nvidia driver is always paired to the kernel they provide, updating together.
Otherwise you literally do have to rebuild it every time. That’s what dkms automates, heh.
