Linux Desktop Compatibility Initiative

A comprehensive technical plan has been developed to transition SessionIntent beyond GNOME/Wayland to support multiple Linux desktop environments. See LINUX_DESKTOP_COMPATIBILITY_PLAN.md for detailed architecture.

Key Components

  • Provider Pattern: Abstract display, workspace, and extension layers
  • Universal Workspace Manager: EWMH + wlroots support
  • Session Detection: Auto-detect desktop environment at runtime (XDG-compliant)
  • Testing Matrix: Multi-DE/distribution validation
  • Subprocess-Based: No new Python dependencies - uses existing system tools

Priority Rollout

  1. Phase 1: Foundation - XDG paths, detection system, TUI fallback
  2. Phase 2: KDE Plasma + Hyprland (primary targets)
  3. Phase 3: wlroots generic + Sway
  4. Phase 4: EWMH fallback + testing

Desktop Environment Support

Current State

  • GNOME Wayland: Fully supported (existing)
  • KDE Plasma: Planned (Priority 1)
  • Hyprland: Planned (Priority 1)
  • Generic wlroots: Planned (Priority 2)
  • Sway: Planned (Priority 2)
  • GNOME X11: May work with existing gdbus

Planned: KDE Plasma Support

Difficulty: High

Add abstraction layer for KDE Plasma workspace management:

# Proposed structure
class WorkspaceManager(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def switch_workspace(self, num: int) -> bool: ...
    @abstractmethod
    def get_current_workspace(self) -> int | None: ...

class GNOMEWorkspaceManager(WorkspaceManager):
    # Current implementation

class KDEWorkspaceManager(WorkspaceManager):
    # Use qdbus or ... for workspace control

Relevant files to modify:

  • src/workspace/manager.py
  • src/session/manager.py

Planned: Hyprland Support

Difficulty: Medium

Use Hyprland's IPC socket for workspace control:

# Possible approach
hyprctl workspace <n>
hyprctl activeworkspace

Planned: Sway Support

Difficulty: Medium

Use swaymsg similar to Hyprland approach.

Packaging

AUR Package (Arch Linux)

Difficulty: Low

Create PKGBUILD for Arch User Repository.

Flatpak

Difficulty: Medium

Package as Flatpak for universal Linux distribution.

Debian/Ubuntu Packages

Difficulty: Low

Create .deb package for Debian-based distributions.

UI/UX Improvements

TUI Mode

Difficulty: Low

Add terminal-based mode selector for headless environments:

sessionintent --tui

Mode Preview

Difficulty: Medium

Show what apps will launch before confirming:

sessionintent --preview work
# Output:
# Workspace 1: firefox (profile: work), vscode
# Workspace 2: slack, thunderbird

Testing

CI/CD Improvements

  • Add more unit tests
  • Add integration tests
  • Test on multiple GNOME versions
