Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives To Android
Unfortunately, the low price tag alone could not make Firefox OS the Raspberry Pi of mobile devices, and, like Tizen, Firefox OS did not have any success with its ZTE devices. Firefox now plans to shift its focus from low cost devices to user experience with Firefox OS.

    I had a dream that I own a FP5 running Plasma Mobile [1]. Then I woke up and realized this is the real world and in the real world we can't have Good Things. [1] https://plasma-mobile.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

  • What is the distro with the best touch ui
    Now, for the backend, the distro you might want to use is KDE plasma, which has its own mobile platform Https://plasma-mobile.org/. Source: 11 months ago
  • ASUS ROG Ally gaming console to feature AMD Ryzen 7 7840U Zen4/RDNA3 APU - VideoCardz.com

    There is also Plasma Mobile that is not stable yet but at least it is fairly light weight and was built with touchscreen support in mind. You can do Fedora + plasma-mobile or debian + plasma-mobile but I don't know of any .iso file you can download with everything already configured. Source: about 1 year ago
