This comes up in a recorded Q&A with the CEO, here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XVw0EhYccu4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XVw0EhYccu4 It’s been a while since I watched it, but IIRC it comes down to control, and being able to decide which parts to focus on before the thing ships. IIRC it sounded like Purism’s efforts are the GNOME roadmap, and they’re hiring GNOME developers. That makes sense if you have to ruthlessly prioritize to ship on a deadline. I wouldn’t be surprised if Plasma Mobile ends up being the superior shell in the fullness of time, but I’d be happy to give GNOME a go. It would be kinda annoying to reskin an app from GTK to Qt, but it probably won’t be necessary a lot of the time, and if it is, it seems like a pretty minor annoyance in the grand scheme of mobile development.
