What happened and what to do
In an article published by LWN on September 30, 2026, Marco Martin’s presentation at Akademy 2026 in Graz reviewed new and smaller KDE Plasma features. Future plans mentioned include removing X11 support and improving remote desktop capabilities.
Companies that rely on Linux workstations can map applications and peripherals tied to X11, test workflows in updated environments, and assess remote access needs. An implementation could include automated inventory, compatibility monitoring, and a phased migration plan; AI need not be part of the solution.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can assess exposure to changes in X11 support across Linux environments and identify remote desktop requirements. We can then scope and implement inventory, testing, monitoring, and a migration plan, with a proposal covering implementation and operation.
