Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Plasma mobile looks way better than phosh IMO. Glad that the mobile environment will resemble the desktop environment. Makes it easier to do cross-platform stuff.

Phosh kinda sucks, idk how it is on Librem devices, but on PmOS it's super clunky.

Dunno what it looks like now, but back then it sucked on Librem too. I can understand trying to do different stuff, but they made the experience worse and I haven't looked back from KDE mobile.
