Plasma Mobile Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• More Developers Use Linux than Mac, Report Shows

  Https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/ is about the closest to a successful Linux phone running https://plasma-mobile.org/ but it's still very niche and just as unlikely to capture any significant market segment. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Valve is Paying 100+ Open-Source Developers to work on Linux Technologies

  This is how it was years ago, but since 2009 KDE does not expand into anything anymore. KDE is the name of the community and umbrella brand. The actual "desktop" environment is since then called Plasma. Desktop is in quotes since Plasma is also available on other form factors, e.g. Mobile devices. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

  Plasma Mobile is still very actively developed. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• Xperia Need OWN OS ?

  Personally, one of my favorite things about Sony to date is how they have this "Open Devices" initiative; contributing to the Android Open Source Community and making it easy to root & ROM their phones. But What I'm suggesting here is taking things one step further; contributing to Linux on mobile so that we can have hardware drivers available for something like PostMarket OS or Manjaro ARM (With Plasma Mobile)... - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Deck: 18% faster on SteamOS than Windows 10

  KDE has other shells other than the Desktop shell, there is Plasma Mobile optimized for touch screen device rather than desktop. But yes if you have a Keyboard and Mouse setup the spreadsheet UI that Xerox developed initially works for getting work done. That being said if only using the Deck without a Dock plasma mobile would be interesting to test out on the Deck. You can try to boot into steam big picture... - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• New documentation for Plasma Mobile

  I also did some work on the website to improve the homepage and cleanup the set of pages (some of them are unchanged from 2015!): https://plasma-mobile.org. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Apart from games, what apps would you like to see built for the Deck?

  Don't worry about that. There's a lot of effort currently around Plasma Mobile for mobile Linux devices making applications usable via touch screen. I think you can just use their file manager instead of Dolphin. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Why is there still no alternative to Android?

  There are some tries like KDE Plasma-mobile, but it seems that it's progressing really slow. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• With the steam Deck coming, do you think there will be more controller-friendly UI software coming?

  The site is being reworked to be more inline with other KDE sites like https://plasma-mobile.org. Please check back later ;). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
