Wayland Goal Status Update
summary
Summary of concrete outcomes since Akademy 2019: the Wayland Goal lands screencast and screenshot capture in Plasma, improves screen reflection and e-ink support, and advances the Plasma Wayland session toward everyday use by reworking compositor/pipewire integration and many KDE components. Remaining work focuses on GPU/driver quirks (notably NVIDIA support), finalizing toolkit integrations and multi‑monitor scaling, and adding automated tests. The project lists concrete patches, mailing‑list threads and tasks for contributors to pick up.
