Just read [a blog post](https://pointieststick.com/2022/12/16/this-week-in-kde-wayland-fractional-scaling-oh-and-we-also-fixed-multi-screen/) by a KDE dev and it turns out they use Appium to test their Linux apps. I don’t know much on driver they use though. Has anyone worked with [Appium Linux driver](https://github.com/fantonglang/appium-linux-driver)? This is their test from the blog post: [https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge\_requests/291](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/291) 🎉 I would like to suggest them a nice test architecture with POM but I never managed a project so huge. I also think that it is now a good idea to start with appium@next already? Maybe it is a good time for discussion so the KDE folks can have a solid foundation for their test suite? Please share your ideas. ---

I like the idea. We are happy to provide all the needed support from our side (such dev topics are usually being discussed in Appium Slack). Btw, I assume the Linux driver is only compatible to Appium 2. It has never been integrated to Appium 1 (which is EOL anyway).
