This is the best summary I could come up with:


While there has been much talk this year about KDE Plasma 6.0 on the desktop as it gears up for release at the end of February, there’s been less talk about the Plasma Mobile work for having the KDE stack on smartphones.

But it turns out some progress is quietly being made on KDE Plasma Mobile for bringing it aligned with the “6” platform.

KDE developer Devin Lin has been among those involved in working on upgrading the Plasma Mobile stack and ensuring everything is ported over to Qt6, compatible with KDE Frameworks 6, and jiving with the other KDE Plasma 6 components.

Porting the Plasma Mobile shell to Qt 6 was “fairly trivial” while it’s been more of a challenge on the application side.

This work has also led to some other changes like moving the task switcher from the shell to a self-contained KWin effect, a rewrite to the default homescreen, a new plasma-mobile-envmanager service, a new plasma-mobile-initial-start application, a docked mode, and other enhancements.

Those wishing to learn more about the Plasma Mobile 6 work can do so via Devin’s blog.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
