Description EpicTux123 2025-06-19 21:12:12 UTC

XWayland Video Bridge has been archived and it is not mantained anymore. Yet, it still part of the KDE Plasma Desktop (on Fedora Linux, at least). Should not it be removed/uninstalled from Plasma?

Thanks.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.14.11-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

KDE doesn't have any control over what distros do. Distros should stop packaging XWaylandVideoBridge, as we would generally recommend for any archived software. But ultimately this is their decision, not ours.
