Competing with UBports??? Ubuntu Touch mobile OS and postmarketOS??? GNOME-based Phosh UI developed by Purism for their Librem 5 Linux phone, KDE’s Plasma Mobile is a very viable alternative for Linux phone owners. About six months ago, Plasma Mobile developer Marco Martin shared a video at FOSDEM 2020 to showcase the awesome experience offered by Plasma Mobile on PINE64’s PinePhone Linux phone. With this new update, the Plasma Mobile experience is about to reach a whole new level. First, there are several new apps available, including KClock, KWeather, Kalk and Kontrast.
