neowin.net

KDE is developing "Karton," a native virtual machine manager, ending the need for KDE users to rely on external tools like GNOME Boxes. Karton, built with Qt Quick and Kirigami, will integrate seamlessly into the KDE Plasma desktop, using the libvirt API for virtual machine management. Development is currently focused on core features, including a new domain installer and a custom SPICE viewer. The project, led by Derek Lin as part of Google Summer of Code 2025, aims for a working application by mid-July, with a final submission due in September.
