The Fedora Games Lab spin will adopt KDE Plasma as its default desktop environment, replacing Xfce, starting with the upcoming Fedora Linux 44 release. This change is scheduled to take effect in April 2026. The decision, as reported by 9to5Linux, shifts the user interface for Fedora's gaming-focused distribution. This transition could influence the integration of gaming tools and the overall desktop experience for users of the Games Lab spin, potentially aligning with trends such as improved Wayland support and other performance considerations often associated with KDE Plasma in gaming contexts.
