This blog post is already quite long, so it will omit changes merged for Plasma 6.5 (releasing in October, to be announced in a future post).
With the Plasma 6.2 release, we moved Plasma Dialer and Spacebar to the Plasma release cycle, allowing us to have consistent releases of the two apps. This completes our year long move to having all Plasma Mobile related projects released as part of wider KDE releases, streamlining the work for distributions and taking a load off us on having to maintain a separate release cycle!
In other news, a Fedora spin for Plasma Mobile was released! It will only be targeting devices that can currently boot Fedora (i.e. not ARM phones), but is very exciting nonetheless!
Naw
could you explain?
Do you think Android is “just” Linux?
Like the other commenter, you have no idea how this works. The people up voting me do.
No? It’s not even much Linux besides the kernel. By my second sentence I meant “Isn’t [Plasma Mobile’s solid] base just GNU/Linux?”
KDE is not a functional Linux distribution. It’s a desktop environment.
So, no, it’s not Linux at all.
Okay, what more needs to be in postmarketOS Plasma in order so that it has a “solid base”?
Literally in my post.
Sorry that I couldn’t see where you included that. Could you do me a favor and quote what components exactly need to have work done for a solid base? (brownie points if they refer to postmarketOS’s Plasma Mobile as a starting point) Note that I’m already aware of the driver layer issues. I’m really curious about this solid base you mention.
