What is SonicDE?

Our current main task is forking the KDE components that SonicDE depends on and removing the leftover Wayland parts everywhere to better concentrate on the X11 support. Feature-wise there is work ongoing to implement a Vulkan Backend. We‘d also like to make use of the expected new features of XLibre and remain compatible with X.Org Server for as long as possible. Besides SonicDE on Linux, we like to support the BSDs where KDE/X11 already runs today and stay init system agnostic.
