KDE releases today Plasma Mobile 6. Check out its renewed base system and apps.
This version comes with a new and improved shell, a new home screen with heaps of new features, enhancements of the base system, improvements in apps like Clock, Kasts and Photos, and much more.
How can I run this plasma mobile? Anybody have experience?
You need a compatible phone depending on the distro. There are Mobian, PostmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch and ArchLinux Arm with Danct12 repos and others.
Right now the most supported phones are PinePhone and PinePhone Pro. Under "supported" I mean hardware support.
I have both. GNU/Linux on phones is not as polished and convenient as Android, but usable. I daily drive Pro model.
Imma buy a pinephone once they come to canada. They look like the industry leaders here. Thanks again!
It would really be nice to have a greater variety of hardware options available for those of us who don't want to be forced into Android or iOS here in the US and Canada. From what I understand, our lack of options is due to a variety of factors: business deals locking phones to a particular OS and/or carrier and locking down the bootloader, American phone models using CPUs that just can't have the OS changed, and most alternative OS'es and open hardware models/standards being primarily developed in Europe and therefore focusing on the European market over North America, as well as others. It means we're virtually stuck with the Google Pixel here, which is essentially paying Google to not have to use Google's OS, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm using one of the very few non-Pixel options with /e/OS, the Murena One, but it leads to another problem, the non-Pixel options having very limited options for carriers because most carriers don't know them so won't touch them.
Ah, right, forgot about it!
Hmmm I see. Thanks!
I have a Pro model, but the battery life is awful 😥
True. I use the keyboard add-on because of it.
Check just check the wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/SHIFT_SHIFT6mq_(shift-axolotl) No one knows how future devices will perform.
Only on phones with dogshit hardware.
Would it be possible to install this in termux?
