: Good point.  Sounds like a good idea IMHO.  If the title were modified/redirected, say, to 'Plasma' (or even 'KDE Plasma' or Plasma/KDE' could be ok also in my view, although KDE is already credited in the introduction), note that this desktop is currently referred elsewhere as [[Desktop_environments_and_Window_managers#Desktop_environments|KDE Plasma]], so we might need to update that link also.

Note on reversion of edit id 26401

Romw314, I reverted your edit because apk template does not allow a display string different from the package being linked to, the apk command as written int the article # apk add plasma is correct; the actual package name though is plasma-desktop-meta. It might be possible to change the command to the latter in order to have the display string and the package name match though... Will look into it shortly. –zcrayfish (talkcontribssend email) 04:29, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Should this page be renamed to Plasma

Since KDE has adopted Plasma as the name of the Desktop, should we change the page name from KDE to Plasma. I don't see this wiki page has any relevance to KDE project and instead it's all about Plasma Desktop and KDE Addons and KDE Applications. Prabuanand (talk) 09:10, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

When is xf86-input-libinput needed?

What situation is this needed for? It was added in 26364 because of #15006#note_317477, updated in 26391 and changed to say it's only for Wayland users because setup-xorg-base would already install this. I have KDE installed and inputs work without this. --Encode (talk) 21:05, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
