KDE Plasma to Add Safe Mode for Troubleshooting
KDE has begun work on a safe mode that boots Plasma without third-party customizations, with parts expected to land in Q4 2026.
KDE has begun work on a dedicated safe mode for Plasma, designed to help users troubleshoot problems caused by third-party customizations. The announcement was reported by xda-developers.com.
The safe mode will boot Plasma without third-party customizations, allowing users to isolate the ones causing problems. Once the problematic customization is identified, it can be disabled or removed.
Work on the feature has started, and KDE expects parts of it to begin landing in Q4 2026. No specific release date has been given.
In May, KDE received €1,285,200 from Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency.
