Plasma and apps for mobile also getting overhauled for 6.
It’s not only Plasma on the desktop that is getting a new version, as Devin Lin explains in his blog post,
https://espi.dev/posts/2023/12/plasma-mobile-towards-6/
developers are working hard on getting #PlasmaMobile 6 ready for the #megarelease scheduled for February.
Hear me out… Maybe every app on your desktop doesn’t need to start with the same letter.

Khy not?
Gwenview, Dolphin, digiKam, AudioTube, Elisa, NeoChat, GCompris…
Not sure what you’re trying to say here.
KDE apps that don’t start with the letter “K”. Also, many KDE apps a not tied to any particular desktop or indeed platform.
That’s cool and all but none of those apps are in this screen shot?

“kurrrrfb” not pronounceable for you?
Cool!
What kind of devices would this run on?
I’m not a Linux mobile expert but I think you can get it on a handful of older devices like the OnePlus 6. Limited support sadly since ARM insists on not enforcing UEFI (among other things)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social kdeconnect is one of the best things ever 💓

@mlekar @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social No, Ubuntu Touch isn’t a classic Linux desktop. Check https://plasma-mobile.org/get/
@mlekar If your Ubuntu Touch device has that new Snap support (https://open-store.io/app/snapz0r.fredldotme), you may be able to run some Plasma Mobile apps like Kasts https://snapcraft.io/kasts or https://snapcraft.io/angelfish

I can’t say how happy this upgrade makes me. I love this style of home screen so much more than Halcyon (although I understand the reason that needed to exist), and the most common complaint I’ve heard from people trying out #PlasmaMobile was the stability, so I really feel like this is an important one-two punch for improving #PlasmaMobile.
I’m still looking for ways that I can significantly help #PlaMo out without money or coding skills to spare. Call me if y’all need an icon, ok?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Docked mode is exciting! That’s the kind of thing I’m looking for. Getting a desktop session on an external monitor when you plug in would be amazing
Same here. I prefer to do 9/10 tasks on a desktop vs a phone, but sometimes I leave the house to go places. I would love to be able to dock my phone and carry a folding mouse rather than having to manage syncing a device for each stage of portability.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social does kmail works in Plasma Mobile? Can we use it to fetch emails from google for example?
@itsoulos @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It works of course, but it’s interface isn’t mobile friendly at all. Merkuro will be a better fit, it uses the same backend as KMail (Akonadi) anyway.

I have an old phone lying around. How can I try plasma on it?@somegeek @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social You can try plasma mobile by installing postmarketos on your phone https://postmarketos.org/
@CQL @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
In the postmarketOS website I saw that my device ( smasung A6 2018) isn’t supported. Do you have any suggestions?No
@somegeek @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social it is supported (sort of) https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_A6_2018_(samsung-a6lte)
although a lot of things don’t work.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social this looks fire
looks very dope.
