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.

The Plasma Mobile team is happy to announce the release of Plasma 6 for mobile devices! It has been a long year of development and porting since our last major release of the shell, as well as mobile applications. This post will outline many of the highlights!

Is anyone actually daily driving this on their phone? Would be interesting to hear about the experience.

It looks great and certainly promising, but looking at the supported device list of, say, postmarketOS, it's clear that there's a lot of work left to be done.

Some good stuff in there. Nice to see that much work, from such a small team.

Their attention to detail is great. If the interface feels as good as it looks, perhaps there is hope of a third major mobile operating system.

Okay, this really makes me want to dust off my Pinephone and try it out.

My thanks goes out to all the developers who made this release possible.
