Description : Open-source user interface for phones, based on
Plasma technologies
Plasma Mobile is an open-source user interface and ecosystem targeted at
mobile devices, built on the KDE Plasma stack.
A pragmatic approach is taken that is inclusive to software regardless of
toolkit, giving users the power to choose whichever software they want to
use on their device.
Plasma Mobile aims to contribute to and implement open standards, and is
developed in a transparent process that is open for anyone to
participate in.
Plasma Mobile provides a graphical interfaces for touch devices like
smartphones or tablets, including (but not limited to) PinePhone(Pro),
Librem5, OnePlus6, ...
Plasma Mobile is actually provided by mobile distributions like postmaketOS
or Manjaro. A Debian packaging suite is available at an external repository
maintained by one Plasma developer, who is not willing to include the
packages into Debian. Having Plasma mobile packaged inside Debian main
repository enables the creation of Plasma-based Mobian images.
As of October 2022, a few desktop environments for touch-devices are
available
at Debian, like Phosh and SXMO, but none of them is IMHO at Plasma's level.
I have been using Plasma mobile packaged by JBB for months on my Pinephone,
but its stability was not very good as the maintainer was admittedly
uploading
packages to his repo without testing them.
I already have a working 5.26.0 package and I am having it reviewed
inside the
DebianOnMobile team.
