KDE turns 30 and someone's brought an AI-native desktop proposal

KDE developers discussed a conceptual vision for the future of the Plasma desktop at the recent Akademy conference, proposing a shift toward an AI-native interface. This model would involve the desktop environment dynamically restructuring itself based on a localized, personal language model tailored to individual user behavior. If implemented, this shift would represent a fundamental change in how users interact with their operating systems, moving away from static menus toward a system that actively anticipates user intent and organizes workflows autonomously.
