KDE Plasma Mobile — The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025 (plasma-mobile.org)

This blog post is already quite long, so it will omit changes merged for Plasma 6.5 (releasing in October, to be announced in a future post).

With the Plasma 6.2 release, we moved Plasma Dialer and Spacebar to the Plasma release cycle, allowing us to have consistent releases of the two apps. This completes our year long move to having all Plasma Mobile related projects released as part of wider KDE releases, streamlining the work for distributions and taking a load off us on having to maintain a separate release cycle!

In other news, a Fedora spin for Plasma Mobile was released! It will only be targeting devices that can currently boot Fedora (i.e. not ARM phones), but is very exciting nonetheless!

I feel like what will really drive Plasma Mobile forward is a flagship device just like what we saw with Valve's Steamdeck.

I'm glad the development is still progressing but if you're on the KDE team please consider reaching out to OEMs and startups to try and have a deliverable device cause people like me are still looking to buy a Linux phone~🥲✊🍀

I would be 1000% on board for a Linux mobile phone that was daily driveable and didn't have pitifully anemic specs.
