We reported a few days ago that the Arch Linux developers announced end-of-life support for the KDE 4 desktop environment in their main software repositories, urging users to either move to a supported repo that contains the KDE 4 packages, or upgrade to the next-generation KDE Plasma 5.5 desktop environment. Today, the Arch Linux devs also announced the removal of the KDE 4 packages from the distro’s main repos.
