Thanks! Is it documented somewhere?
- shmerl 10y ago* https://plasma-mobile.org/technology/ https://plasma-mobile.org/technology/ * https://plasma-mobile.org/nexus-5/ https://plasma-mobile.org/nexus-5/ In the second link you can see a reference to KDE Neon, which is development distro based on Kubuntu. See also: https://neon.kde.org https://neon.kde.org
- hackuser 10y agoThanks for responding. I'm still having trouble finding the information: > * https://plasma-mobile.org/technology/ https://plasma-mobile.org/technology/ This page doesn't mention the OS, afaict. > * https://plasma-mobile.org/nexus-5/ https://plasma-mobile.org/nexus-5/ This page seems to describe installing Plasma Mobile on top of Cyanogenmod, a fork of Android. Neon is mentioned only under "OLD INSTRUCTIONS AND ERRATA (no longer needed)".
- shmerl 10y agoOld instructions show what it is. The base is the same. See for example: https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-team-launches-plasma-mobile-references-images/ https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-team-launches-plasma-mobile...
- hackuser 10y agoThanks for responding to all my questions. fyi: The dev chimed in later in this discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12861481 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12861481 It turns out it runs Neon, in a container, on top of Cyanogenmod.
- shmerl 10y agoMinimal Cyanongenmod base refers to the kernel and some blob drivers, there is nothing else there from CM. So it's actually normal glibc Linux, which uses some hardware drivers for Android through libhybris.
