- jraph 4y agoThere is an experimental repository you can use now :-) [1] I'm mixed there. I like the Plasma mobile UI better, I don't like Gnome on Desktop and have been using Plasma on the Desktop for years. On Mobian, on my Pinephone Pro, I tried experimental plasma packaging. - The keyboard lacks function and arrow keys. Agreed, it should not be an issue on mobile, but mobile Linux are not ready yet and have a lot of desktop-ism, or bugs that prevent them from being smooth with the touchscreen. It's quite annoying - The phone seems to be slower, heat more and to be less stable - there general bugs making it almost impractical to use. For now, I reverted to Phosh, which I find clunky with its always visible top and bottom bars eating up screen space especially in landscape mode (though I must say, phosh has made incredible progress since 2020 and seems to work generally well now) Maybe many of those quirks will be solved when proper Mobian packaging is done, and I might go back to Plasma and contribute some fixes. I'm sure Plasma can be as light, or lighter than Gnome technology, and also more stable. It feels like it on desktop. About Mobian: Mobian is fantastic. It's reliable, improving and they are doing the right things the right way as shown in this post: contributing and upstreaming work to the different projects including Debian.
